Last year, the sea turtle "Hawksbill turtle" launched on the coast of Minamiizu Town, Shizuoka Prefecture, was recovered by the treatment of a local aquarium and released into the sea.
On the coast of Honse, Minamiizu Town, a debilitated sea turtle "Hawksbill turtle", which was designated as an endangered species, was launched in early December last year and has been protected by a nearby aquarium.
During this time, after taking measures such as administering antibiotics, the hawksbill turtle regained its vitality by eating food.
Hawksbill turtles are sea turtles that live from the tropics to the subtropics south of the main island of Okinawa. At the aquarium, the water temperature of the nearby seas has risen, so on the 22nd, the turtles were carried to the coast where they had been launched and released.
Tsukasa Okano, a keeper of the Shimoda Underwater Aquarium, said, "When I protected it, I was in a very weak state, but I'm glad that it recovered. It's a sea turtle that I rarely see around the Izu Peninsula, so swim well. I want it. "
