Sea turtles who once were rehabbing at Gulfarium in Okaloosa County are now swimming freely.
It's sea turtle nesting season in the Panhandle and just in time for the season, a marine care center in Okaloosa County released several turtles in rehab.
“So today we released 4 sea turtles that were in our facility at the Gulfarium Care Center,” said Tabitha Siegfried, Sea Turtle Stranding Coordinator, at Gulfarium. “We had 3 loggerheads Octavia, Ruben, and fish and then we had Deluna our adult green sea turtle.” Deluna spent 9 months in rehab and now with nesting season underway they must get her back in the water.
