Yesterday morning, the Sea Turtle Care Center at the SC Aquarium held a public turtle release at Folly Beach County Park for the first time in almost three years. The team helped local shellebrities Gale, Olaf, Elsa, Sunstone, Citrine, and Moonstone seas the day and head out to the big blue.
The care center focuses on rescue, rehabilitation, and release. Public releases are usually announced on the aquarium website + social media, so keep an eye out for the next one. Heads up: These are often announced only hours beforehand for the safety of the animals, residents, and staff.
