Our Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Center in Apollo Beach celebrates another success story with Kalan, the loggerhead sea turtle, returning to the ocean!
Kalan came to The Florida Aquarium after being initially triaged and cared for at Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium in February of this year. Upon transfer to our facility, she received supportive care and further antibiotics to treat the adverse effects of Red Tide intoxication.
Join in our celebration by tracking Kalan’s progress through the Gulf on our website! (Thanks to the Sea Turtle Conservancy)
Details of her journey are expected to begin transmitting within the next week here:

All sea turtle rehabilitation work conducted by The Florida Aquarium is done with the approval of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission) under conditions not harmful to marine turtles and authorized under conservation activities pursuant to FWC MTP-23-179
