Gooey, Swimming with the Moon
Copyright Susan Ogden
Gooey is living temporarily at the Star Center, at the North Carolina Aquarium, on Roanoke Island. He is now on his last stage of rehab before being set free to swim in the sea! Another success for Sea Turtle rescue and rehabilitation.
Last year there were over 600 Cold-stun sea turtles found and brought into the center, and because it is located in the aquarium, and the aquarium was under renovation, they had room for all of them and almost every one of them survived.
Gooey now swims in the HUGE tank just outside Star Center’s Turtle rescue and rehab section, and he was a bit of a ham for photos when i was there the other day....swimming back and forth for his picture and sometimes swimming straight to me, looking thru the glass as i watched him watch me!
I am finding out that they have personalities all their own! Gooey is delightful!
