In a recent newsletter, the Turtle Hospital revealed how education program's benefit nature and wildlife by teaching us how to lend a helping hand.
Susan and George, a couple from Tavernier, who attend one of the education program recognized the symptoms of a sea turtle in distress, and rescued it. The Turtle Hospital's staff arrived and realized the Loggerhead, they later named 'Susan' had eaten something. The x-rays showed a hook, which was later extracted. The Turtle Hospital's Education Program helped Susan and George understand what to do to save the Loggerhead sea turtle, which will recover, and eventually be released back into the wild.
