We adopted Hang Ten in 2022.
​
Hang Ten's Patient History
​
Hang Ten hatched from Nest #23 during our 2009 nesting season with a unique birth defect. Her front flipper was forked and curled underneath her body. She was released on the beach with the rest of the hatchlings from her nest, but washed up several hours later.
In adopting her, we can support Sea Turtle Inc.'s effort to rescue and rehabilitate sea turtles in the gulf.
Our goal is to adopt nests in 2024 as well.
