Comber the Green Sea Turtle

From U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Pacific Southwest Region:

Remember Comber? The adorable green sea turtle who was released into the Pacific last year after suffering cold-stun?
We now have two updates on this front:
🐢 After release, Comber's tracker showed that he was travelling in the wild as a normal sea turtle would! YAY!
🐢 We are releasing 3 more rehabilitated sea turtles into the ocean on Monday. 1 of the turtles was rescued as far back as 2014! Tomorrow, we will tag them. Stay tuned for tagging and release updates!
