Gulf World Marine Institute (GWMI) is releasing “Hitch”, the loggerhead sea turtle into the Gulf of Mexico on Thursday, August 28th at 9:00 am from the beach in front of the Carousel Supermarket at 19440 Front Beach Road. The public is invited to attend this event.
Hitch was rescued from the M.B. Miller County Pier on May 19th after an accidental hooking by treble hook in the mouth. Pier staff safely secured the sea turtle until GWMI staff could arrive.
GWMI would like to thank Bay County Pier staff and the Gulfarium C.A.R.E. Center for their dedicated efforts and partnerships with GWMI. If you see a stranded or deceased dolphin, whale or sea turtle, please immediately report to Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission, 1-888-404-3922 or #FWC on your cell phone.
Gulf World Marine Park creates memorable experiences for the entire family through entertaining animal shows, fascinating exhibits and hands-on interaction with marine life. Gulf World hosts special events and live concerts in addition to daily animal shows and interactive programs.
