Due to some graphic medical procedures in this episode, viewer discretion is advised. Ozzy, a sub-adult loggerhead sea turtle, sustained severe injuries due to a crab trap entanglement. Much like Winter the Dolphin, she had a long road to recovery. Her worst injury was to her fractured flipper. Veterinarians had to come up with innovative medical procedures in order for Ozzy to heal. See how the treatment and rehabilitation took place in this new episode of Rescue-Clearwater.
In the last episode you saw Ozzy the loggerhead sea turtle's rescue and rehab journey. Now, see Ozzy's release and learn about the satellite sea turtle tracker used for the first time in CMA history! Ozzy was our first sea turtle released with a satellite tag. The last day we have her tracked is on January 22, 2016, off the coast of North Carolina. We believe that Ozzy’s tag has either fallen off, or has become biofouled. Biofouling is the growth of organisms, algae and barnacles on a wet surface. Four months is the average life span of a tracker, so we were pleased with the results we received from Ozzy’s journey.
