An Olive Ridley turtle<\/strong> was found at Playa Hermosa. She had gone out at night to lay her eggs and looked tired and had some wounds on her fins. This turtle was probably born here and came back so that her babies would also be from Rocky Point<\/strong>. She was so tired that she was unable to return to sea. The neighbors and visitors informed the authorities who initiated the rescue by calling CEDO Intercultural<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We went to examine the turtle, who was exhausted and had minor injuries and who, undoubtedly, needed to rest in a protected place before returning to sea.<\/p>\n

The team moved her to our Agustin Cort\u00e9s Building<\/strong> at the CEDO campus<\/strong> where she was kept for hours under observation before being released.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”860,855,856,857,859″][vc_column_text]CEDO’s team and our family accompanied the turtle back to the sea. It was an awesome experience for us and our sons and daughters<\/strong>.
