00:00Today, we're going to release 30 turtles that are just now perfectly ready to go.
00:10We have an adult female loggerhead, she's in here in the middle box, she's 65 kilograms
00:19and she had a intestine infection from eating plastics and she's been with us over a year.
00:27And we have two green turtles, one of them is there, it's a female as well, she's around
00:3354 kilograms and she had a similar issue and was brought to us from Jorfakan.
00:43And we have another green turtle on the other box, it's approximately I would say 17 years
00:50old or so and had an infection in the carapace.
00:56In addition, we have 27 hawksbill turtles in the boxes here that we are going to release
01:00today.
01:01They are small animals from one to three years old.
01:04Turtles take almost two decades or more actually to reach sexual maturity and most, if not
01:10all of these small turtles were cold stunned because of the cold winter months.
01:18And please, if you find the injured or sick sea turtle, just put it in a bucket with fresh
01:26water or put a wet towel on them, give us a call and bring it to us and do at no time
01:32please try to remove the barnacles because the barnacles are cemented to the turtle.
01:36If you try to pull them off, you will damage the turtle, it will get an infection and get
01:40worse.
01:42So just, I would like to also thank Jumail al-Nasim for hosting the event and with that
01:49on the count of from 10 to 0, we're going to start the release of the animals.
02:12Wider, wider, wider than that.
02:14Wider.
