Questions arise after sea turtle dies near Hollywood Beach shoreline

 


HOLLYWOOD, Florida A female sea turtle was found dead Monday morning, floating in the ocean near the shore of Hollywood Beach.

A sea turtle specialist from the Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Program, which is run by Nova Southeastern University in partnership with Broward County, told Local 10 News that a beach enthusiast called the conservation program around 7 a.m. morning to report a beached sea turtle in the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk area near Thomas Street.

I saw what I originally thought was a nesting turtle, and I was excited, said bather Emily Robinson. It’s kinda beautiful to see something that big, and then you realize right away that it’s wrong, and then I realized she was dead and I cried a bit.

When the sea turtle specialists arrived, they found a dead sea turtle, about 3 to 4 feet long, floating in the water where the waves crashed against the sand.

Specialists dragged the 400-pound sea turtle across the sand, where they discovered what appeared to be a puncture wound to the head.

They said the turtle was swollen and its shell was peeling from the decay.

According to specialists, the turtle must have died recently because the wounds were fresh and blood was still flowing from its head.

It is not known if the turtle was there to lay eggs, but this part of the beach is a nesting area for sea turtles. The nesting season runs from March to September.

Green turtles are a protected species and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is supporting the investigation. Scientists plan to transport the turtle to a laboratory, where they will perform an autopsy to determine how the creature died.

The odds against them are huge and to see one of this size go away, it really tears you apart and it’s a real reality check, Robinson said.

Those who spot a stranded, injured or dead sea turtle are asked to call the Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Programs Emergency Response Hotline at 954-328-0580.
