Arrival: 4/7/14

Species: Hawksbill

Weight:

Location: Stock Island

Reason: Washback, missing flipper

Mocho was found floating in a canal. Such small sea turtles like Mocho should not be inshore, they should be offshore in the Sargassum seaweed. He must have gotten washed back in and gotten stuck. He’s also missing his front left flipper, probably due to a predator attack.

UPDATE

Mocho was released 2/23/15 offshore.
