Advertiser Staff
Sea Life Park will be releasing 14 captive-bred Hawaiian green sea turtles into the ocean at 11 a.m. today.The release will be at Makapu'u Beach across from Sea Life Park.
This is the second release of captive-bred turtles by Sea Life Park in the past month. In mid-January, 45 green sea turtles were released from a cruise ship into the deep sea off the east side of the Big Island in a collaboration between NCL America and NOAA's Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center.
Those turtles were 5 months old and had small electronic tags attached so they could be identified in the future.
