#Barnacle Turtle

There’s something oddly satisfying about barnacle removal… but it’s also a vital part of sea turtle rehab. When a turtle like Doyle strands with heavy barnacle growth, it’s usually a sign something’s wrong. Healthy turtles are constantly swimming, which helps keep too many barnacles from settling. But when they’re sick, injured, or floating too much, barnacles quickly take hold — adding weight, irritating the skin, drag, and sometimes even leading to infection. Removing them is one of the first steps in the rehab process. It’s slow, careful work — especially when you’re dealing with a 150lb loggerhead. But what always amazes me is how they let us do it. Creatures this strong could push us away… but instead, they allow us to help. 🧼 #SeaTurtleRehab 🪸 #BarnacleRemoval 💪 #MarineConservation 🐢 #LoggerheadTurtle 🧤 #WildlifeRescue 🌊 #OceanCare 📋 #VetMedInTheField 🌍 #protectwhatyoulove

Pt.3 Harlow the Loggerhead sea turtle’s barnacle removal. ⚠️🐢 We don’t remove all of the barnacles at once, so she still has a few stragglers on her that we‘ll get later. ❤️‍🩹 She’s still in critical condition but is now feeling well enough to swim in a shallow pool! Which is good progress! 💙🏊 We couldn’t have gotten this far without all of the talented staff at The Turtle Hospital and the amazing support from you guys! Thank you so much for being a part of this great work. We will continue to keep you all updated with everything Harlow-related and of course, all of the other wonderful patients in our care too. 🏥❤️ #connectandprotect #compassionoscontagious #rescuerehabrelease #seaturtlerescue #loggerheadseaturtle #loggerhead #turtle #turtlehospital #marathonturtlehospital #theturtlehospital #sea #seaturtle #loggerheadturtle #science #nature #ocean #beach #seaturtlehospital #seaturtlerehab #wildlife #floridakeys #STEM #education #animals #barnacles #barnacleremoval #barnaclesgonewild #seaturtlebarnacles
