WE DID IT!
This week, on Thursday 6 June 2024, AQWA assisted in the successful release of multiple endangered sea turtles back to to wild!
In a special collaborative effort with the Dolphin Discovery Centre, six rehabilitated turtles from both facilities were returned to their natural habitat in Ningaloo Marine Park, Exmouth WA.
It was a gratifying yet emotional day for AQWA Aquarist and Marine Biologist, Christine Rawlinson, who has been the primary carer of rescued turtles within the AQWA Foundation's Rescue, Rehabilitate & Release Program for the last 2.5 years.
Special thanks go to the generous assistance of the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation, and Attractions (DBCA), the team at the Dolphin Discovery Centre, and to all AQWA staff, volunteers and donors for their ongoing support of The AQWA Foundation's work.
