During the last day of our Summer Science Institute, Aquatic Systems, the teachers were exploring the coastal water system of Cedar Key. They had the opportunity to venture out aboard one of UF's research vessels. Off the shore of Seahorse Key, they spotted a sea turtle who was unable to submerge. After the proper calls were made, the teachers and a UF biologist brought the sea turtle to UF. She was then transported to the Georgia Sea Turtle Center after her brief stop at UF.
This was the message from Dr. Foley from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission:
“The turtle arrived safely at the Georgia Sea Turtle Center at 7:30 and still seemed to be doing well.
This turtle should soon appear on the current patient list on the GSTC website –

She has been named Erica, weighing in at 202lbs. They believe she has an infection and are treating her with antibiotics and lots of good care. Her page isn’t up yet, but we’ll keep an eye out!
