Rescued sibling turtles are returned to the sea off the Costa Blanca
A pair of turtles have made a full recovery after being rescued on the Coast Blanca and treated at the Oceanogràfic València Foundation Hospital.
Two young sibling turtles who found themselves in difficulties and had to be rescued before being taken to the Oceanogràfic València Foundation Hospital have been returned to the sea.
After hatching from a nest found in Ibiza during summer 2019, the baby sea turtles - named Marina and Xeresa - were then released into the sea at Playa d En Bossa, a 2.5km beach in the Balearic Islands; wherever possible young turtles which have hatched in an incubator from eggs laid on the Spanish coastline, are returned to the beach on which the eggs were laid when released in the hope that they themselves will return to lay their own eggs once they reach adulthood.
