Yesterday, two turtles are released back into their natural environment after having gone rehabilitation for injuries.
Turtle Nadia was rescued on the 4th of August with an ingested hook. Thankfully, Wildlife Rescue Team Malta explained, the hook was very close to the mouth and could be removed with minimal disturbance.
Meanwhile, turtle Maria was rescued on the 20th of August as she could not dive properly. No obvious injuries were noted initially but she immediately started excreting copious amounts of plastic.
‘Once the bulk of the plastic was eliminated, she started diving better.’ The release was attended to 12-year-old swimmer Liam Daly, who presented Nature Trust with a €1,050 donation raised during his awareness swim last year.
