Endangered sea turtle returns to Indian River Lagoon
On Tuesday, April 11, Brevard Zoo’s Sea Turtle Healing Center returned Homeslice, a juvenile green sea turtle, to the Indian River Lagoon. Homeslice was found in Haulover Canal on August 21 after sustaining multiple propeller wounds on “her” shell and head. She was treated with fluids, antibiotics and vitamins.
Boaters can decrease their likelihood of striking a sea turtle by staying alert, following speed limits and exercising extreme caution near seagrass beds.
Green sea turtles are considered “endangered” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources due to human hunting, entanglement in fishing equipment, marine debris, shrinking beaches, pollution and climate change.
