Pictured here, a large adult sea turtle is lifted from it’s harness by volunteers to be released back into the sea from the main beach at Byron Bay. Australian Seabird Rescue released 5 sea turtles this morning, some which have been rehabilitated for over 7 months by the Ballina branch who are notable for their continued work with injured Pelicans. It was nice to see some of the community out to applaud their efforts and wish these turtles the best as they quickly swam away into the deep blue!
