The Good deed this week goes to Eco Barge Clean Seas Inc, who work tirelessly to keep the Whitsunday seas clean and marine life safe.
Eco Barge is excited to announce that Jade, a juvenile Green sea turtle found stranded on the rocks at Seaforth on September 30, will soon be released back into her ocean home.
Covered in barnacles and stranded, Jade was safely transported to the Whitsunday Turtle Rescue Centre with the support of the Mackay District Turtle Watch team.
Upon arrival, Eco Barge’s dedicated team assessed Jade’s health, finding her overall condition good but requiring special care to regain her strength. Over the past weeks, she has received lots of care, including barnacle removal and a nutritious diet of squid and cuttlefish to bring her back to a healthy weight.
A big thanks to the committed efforts of the Eco Barge Whitsunday Turtle Carers, Jade is now ready to return to the sea.
Jade was released on Thursday.
