UPDATE: The Seahorse has been released into a calm estuary.
Thanks to Amy who called about a stranded seahorse yesterday! She had attempted a few times to return it to the ocean, but the rough waves kept bringing it back to shore.
We called our friends and CBTW volunteers at Fort Caswell Coastal Education Program and they took the seahorse back to their salt water aquarium for observation. It appears to have some buoyancy issues (not being able to fully immerse itself for long periods of time).
Call us about any stranded sea animal and we will attempt to find the right kind of help it needs! Sea turtles are our specialty, but we love all animals! 910-368-6323
Not sure this applies, **This conservation work for protected sea turtles is authorized by the NC Wildlife Resources Commission (ES Permit 26ST03).
