Releasing Addy

Admiral the loggerhead sea turtle, known affectionately by her caretakers as “Addy,” was released into the ocean on July 28 at North Beach on Tybee Island as hundreds of people gathered to witness her first strokes into her new journey.  As Tybee Island Marine Science Center representatives watched their once baby hatchling swim off, they were confident in her readiness to live in the sea with hopes that one day, Addy may swim through the area once again. They’ll know if she does, too, thanks to a rice-sized tag planted into her shoulder muscles.  The event was significant across the country as people have followed Addy’s story since her journey began three years ago. Addy, along with five other loggerhead sea turtle hatchlings were found in a shower July 24, 2018, at the Admiral’s Inn inside a hotel room trash can with just a little tap water. 

Rescued loggerhead sea turtle released on Tybee Island, Georgia

Addy, a 3-year-old loggerhead sea turtle, was released by her caretakers from the Tybee Island Marine Science Center into the Atlantic Ocean on Wednesday. When she was found in a trash can at the Admiral Inn on Tybee Island three years ago, Addy weighed less than a AA battery. She measured just under 2 inches nose to tail, and her shell was smaller than a square Post-it Note. Although she was the runt of six loggerhead hatchlings an intoxicated Kentucky couple snatched from the beach one evening, Addy – described by the center s Executive Director Cathy Sakas as a “champion crab cruncher” – is now a robust 56 pounds and ready to make her way in the wild. When she returns to these shores in 20 or so years to lay eggs, Addy will be recognized easily by her tag and chip, provided by the Georgia Sea Turtle Center.
