Rehabilitated sea turtle joins migratory tracking program after hospital release

A rehabilitated juvenile green sea turtle was fitted with a satellite transmitter and released in the Florida Keys to participate in the Tour de Turtles program.
The Sea Turtle Conservancy organizes the Tour de Turtles annually to track sea turtle migrations and raise awareness about threats to their survival.
The turtle named Marcia was treated for positive buoyancy disorder at the Turtle Hospital in Florida before her release.
The satellite tracking provides scientists with valuable data about sea turtle movements, behavior, and the growing risks they face.
The Tour de Turtles public tracking program aims to educate people about sea turtle conservation and the need for their protection.
