VICTORIA — When B.C. marine scientist Anna Hall encountered a very lost loggerhead turtle in waters near Victoria over the weekend, she knew it faced a grim fate at sea.

Generally speaking, turtles like Moira are not supposed to be found in B.C.

Loggerhead sea turtles are typically seen in subtropical and temperate seas, and the rescued turtle is only the second ever seen in B.C. waters. It is now recovering in the care of the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Society.
