Rasputin, a large adult male green sea turtle, has been successfully released back into the ocean at Snow’s Beach, Shute Harbour. Rescued after becoming entangled in fishing line, Rasputin received expert care from the Turtle Team at Eco Barge Clean Seas Inc, and has now made a full recovery, swimming free once again in his natural habitat.
The successful release was made possible through the dedicated efforts of the Turtle Care Team, the support of Eco Barge, and the commitment of volunteers who captured beautiful photos and videos of Rasputin’s return to the sea. These images helped share the excitement of the moment with the wider community.
Many supporters gathered to bid Rasputin farewell, demonstrating the strong community involvement that makes rescues and rehabilitations like this possible. Their ongoing support plays a crucial role in protecting marine turtles and raising awareness about the challenges these creatures face.
Those interested in learning more about Rasputin and other turtles currently in care can book an Eco HQ tour through the organisation’s website. The tours provide a unique opportunity to see firsthand the important conservation work underway to help marine turtles thrive.
Rasputin’s journey serves as a hopeful example of how dedicated care and community support can make a real difference for the survival of marine wildlife.
