A closeup of that little guy.
After a good meal and some rest, he will be tagged and released.
Sea turtles return to breed at the same beach where they were born. (This is a serious problem if their home beach is now a parking lot.) No one yet knows whether turtles who get lost going from the beach to the sea have properly imprinted on their beach, and whether this will be a problem when the time comes for them to breed.
