Three injured loggerhead turtles released back to Gulf after rehab

Three loggerhead sea turtles are swimming free again in the Gulf of Mexico after recovering from injuries sustained at Gulf State Park Pier earlier this month, according to WKRG News 5.

The turtles had been hooked while in the pier area and were brought in for rehabilitation. After treatment and recovery, they were deemed healthy enough to return to their natural habitat.

The release marks a successful outcome for the marine wildlife rehabilitation effort, though details on the specific injuries and treatment timeline were not immediately available.
