Georgia Sea Turtle Rescue Center

February 2015:  The goal of the rescue center is to return the sea turtles to the wild as soon as they can survive on their own.  Many of the turtles are brought to the center because they are cold stunned.  The turtles temperatures are raised 5 degrees a day until they reach 75-80 degrees.

This is Mahi, a Kemps Ridley sea turtle.  Her front flipper had to amputated because of damage from fishing line.  She is expected to be released back into the ocean.
