Meet Jiminy Cricket 🐢✨️

​When we found Jiminy, we noticed the turtle's sunken plastron (bottom shell) which told us he was dangerously underweight. After 4 months at the Sea Turtle Healing Center overcoming infections and a "picky eater" phase, Jiminy's officially back in the big blue!

​Seeing Jiminy and his friend Bling return to the ocean is a beautiful reminder of why we do this work 🌊💙

​Permitted research and rehabilitation work with FWC and NMFS.

Throwing it back to an amazing research trip earlier this year in Crystal River FL with our friends at ! While we wait for calmer seas here, we're reminiscing over the turtles and vital seagrass habitats on the west coast.

These beautiful underwater meadows offer delicious blue crabs for Loggerhead and Kemp's Ridley turtles and fields of seagrasses for green sea turtles to graze on. We loved and appreciated the opportunity to assist IRG and be sure to check out their amazing research!

Also, send us some calm ocean vibes! We're hoping to tag the last 4 loggerhead turtles for our acoustic study 🐢❤️

Permitted research through NMFS & FWC with Inwater Research Group. Turtles were numbered using a temporary, non-toxic marker.
