Meet Heidi, our new Olive Ridley Sea Turtle! 🐢
Heidi was rescued in 2018 by the Olive Ridley project, after he was found entangled in a ghost net. Sadly, the injuries he sustained gave him very little chance of survival in the wild, but he is now happily settling into his forever home in our Great Barrier reef exhibit.
Find out more about his story in our blog 👇

A massive thank you to Olive Ridley Project, IAG Cargo, Coco Collection, JCS Livestock , Trans Maldivian Airways and British Airways for making this all possible and for helping transport Heidi safely from the Maldives, all the way to us here at the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth!
