Her return to the Turtle Rehabilitation Centre highlights the plight of sea turtles in the wild An injured sea turtle that was rescued, rehabilitated and released back into the ocean in March 2019 has returned to SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s Turtle Rehabilitation Centre.
Connie the green sea turtle arrived back at the aquarium two weeks ago after a fisherman found her stranded at Rangiputa Beach in Northland and called the Department of Conservation.
According to Andrew Christie, Curator at SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s, Connie is estimated to be between 10-15 years old and is in a much better condition than when she first arrived at the Turtle Rehabilitation Centre in December 2018;
Kelly Tarlton s/Stuff She initially came to the centre after washing up at Henderson Bay in Northland. After four months of rehabilitation, the turtle was released back into the ocean at Poor Knights Island Marine Reserve in Matapouri. “Over the past year Connie has put on over 5kg which shows she has been successful at feeding herself in the wild,” Christie said. “We are still yet to determine why Connie washed up a second time, but it highlights the harsh reality of sea turtles’ plight in the wild, with only one in 1000 sea turtles making it to adulthood.” It is also quite remarkable the turtle returned to the same area where she was first found, Christie said.
