Well, Septemeber has been a busy month for us here with over 49 turtles releases back into the ocean. We had a fairly rare occurence with a large male green turtle nearly 1.5 metres long coming to us with a hook imbedded in its front flipper, we managed to remove it quickly and he was release back into the marine park. It has been a month of hook injuries with 2 other female turtles coming to us with hooks lodged in their throats from fishing line , with a littel perserverance we managed to sort them out and send them back to the  sea.

We  have some new residents in the rehabilitation centre with 7 little hatchling residing with us while we feed them up  before taking them by boat and releasing  them back into the ocean. They ar eeating so much w e are calling them the little fatties. The rehabilitaion centre this month has also seen the rlesae of our little hawksbill who has been with us for 6 months and she was finally released back into the park on thursday – we were both very happy and sad to see her go.

Technologically this month has been challenging wiht  a massive power surge which has blown up our  water tank pumps, our DVD palyer, 2 computer cords and a small fridge. The challenges of a non functioning power supply. Luckily no one was hurt but now we need to replace what was lost.

We have also been working hard on the development and improvement of our volutneer program and it is starting to really look good and we have our next volutneer arriving this month. We are looking forwad to having more hands on deck particualrly as we are getting into the season for large turtle releases adn november to January are our busiest release months with up to 90 turtles being released each month.
