Public Sea Turtle Release

Monay

Monay Markey was out boating with her family and found a turtle floating, unable to dive (a few hundred yards south of Spanish Harbor Channel, West of Big Pine Key).
She and her father got the turtle up on the boat after being talked through the rescue process with the FWC.
