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
