    A loggerhead turtle was released back into the ocean on July 8, 2024.

    According to MCSO, the loggerhead came ashore to lay her eggs. She then tried to return to the sea via a narrow path through the rocks, but got stuck and started becoming weak after trying to free herself.

    The turtle was released back into the ocean. Sea turtle nesting season largely takes place between March and October.
