Arrival: 6/28/17
Species: Loggerhead
Weight: 125 lbs
Location: Florida Bay
Reason: Boat Strike
BIO: This Loggerhead turtle was found while NOAA & FWC were out in the Florida Bay conducting research. TOMO has a wound on it’s plastron that is infected due to the boat strike.
UPDATED: 1/22/18 My boat strike on my plastron is taking a while to heal. The strike did cut through some muscle so Tomo only has limited range of motion with its back right flipper.
UPDATED: 2/28/18 Getting the royal treatment of love by the rehabbers.
UPDATED: 5/14/18 Released!!!!!!
