The last two recovering loggerhead turtles in the Porto Pim Aquarium were released

The last two recovering loggerhead turtles in the Porto Pim Aquarium were released last week. “Popeye” that was caught in October 2018 in the north of the Pico entangled in nylon cable and that eventually lost its right front fin. And “Barbataneta”, which was found stranded in the south of Faial in December 2018 by Mariana and her father, and showing from the beginning a serious problem of positive buoyancy. Both cases were delicate and fortunately the recovery turned out to be a success. We would like to thank everyone involved, especially Flying Sharks, who have been monitoring the recovery of these animals from the beginning and have done everything to make their rehabilitation a success.
