Yesterday I stopped at the beach for a half mile swim, after I got done it slowly dawned on my dim little mind that the beach was more crowed than normal. So I wandered around, eventually asking someone what was going on. There was a Turtle Release! Several times a year, the Turtle Farm here releases turtles into the wild.
Of course, it was so crowded I didn’t actually see anyone actually put any turtles in the water, but I did see several turtles with trustworthy turtle-release agents.

I couldn’t actually see the release
What a lovely idea.. and kinda a shame that the turtles have to be hand reared then released back into the wild.
The Turtle Farm raises them mainly for eating!And it is a tourist attraction.
Thank you for visiting and commenting!I'm going to visit your blog for a bit now ….I can already tell you that your post for 11/17 made me laugh so hard that my iced coffee nearly shot out of my nose!
Wow, you don't see turtles that big around these parts. Of course, you don't see the ocean around these parts either.
