Sadie Hawkins, a hawksbill turtle being treated at Gumbo Limbo Nature Center in this June 13 photo, was moved to Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach after the nonprofit Coastal Stewards closed Gumbo Limbo’s sea turtle rehab unit. Of the 13 turtles being treated at the time of the closure, only three have yet to be relocated. One is to be transferred to another facility and two are expected to be released into the ocean this month. Photos by Tim Stepien/The Coastal Star
