turtle they thought it was dead since it did not
move when they approached. They picked up
the turtle and noticed that it was still breathing
and so they brought it back to the island and
cared for it for almost a week over the Christmas

consulted with Linda Searle on procedures for
rehabilitation and ECOMAR consulted with Sea
Turtle Inc, an organization that conducts sea
turtle rehabilitation on South Padre Island in
Texas.
