ALERT - Loggerhead Turtle in the Lynnhaven

ALERT - Loggerhead Sea Turtle - A rehabilitated loggerhead sea turtle was recently released by the Virginia Aquarium Stranding Team and wandered into the Eastern Branch of the Lynnhaven River. He is 3-4 feet in length and has a radio transmitter on his back. According to radio transmissions, he has been in the Eastern Branch for about four days. Stranding team members are very interested in checking on him to make sure that he is okay. If you spot him, please do not intervene, but please do call the stranding team at 757-437-6159 and wait with him until stranding team members arrive. The most recent radio transmission showed him to be in the Brown Cove area (Holly Point Road and Five Points Road in the Rose Hall Shores area). We at LRNow would also like to hear if anyone spots him. You can call our office at 757-962-5398 or email me at kforget@lynnhaven2007.com.

Never turn your back on the sea

Re: ALERT - Loggerhead Turtle in the Lynnhaven

Thanks for the info. Interesting he wandered inside. Saw one last week inside the barrier islands of the eastern shore. Have seen them almost to the MMBT. Hope they all make it. Gotta be a tough life...
