Join the Turtle Hospital Team to Say Farewell to Harlow

Arriving at The Turtle Hospital on June 27th, 2024. This adult loggerhead was found stranded, covered in barnacles from head to flipper, floating at the surface in dire need of help. A wonderful family out enjoying a day of fishing jumped into action, calling The Turtle Hospital for help and stayed by her side till our rescue and rehab team arrived on scene. With the help of local Coast Guard members, Harlow was transported to our facility. After almost 7 months of care this beautiful gal will be released back to her ocean home on December 21st. 2024.

As she journeys back out to sea for new adventures, she has been outfitted with a satellite tracker. With the help of the Sea Turtle Conservancy, this data will be used to help in research efforts for more sea turtles just like Harlow. 

We hope you can join our team in wishing farewell to this incredible loggerhead Harlow
