As Spring Break kicked off this past weekend, six green sea turtles were released back into the wild in the Gulf of Mexico. The Houston Zoo’s veterinary staff oversaw the care and treatment of these turtles, providing them with physical exams and antibiotics before they spent time recovering in Galveston with our partners at Texas A&M University at Galveston’s Gulf Center for Sea Turtle Research. You can help save sea turtles by reducing your single-use plastics and picking up any debris you see along the Galveston beach this Spring Break.
