VOXY The Sea Turtle Returns To The Sea
Contributed by: Terri Neil on 7/11/2008

Voxy, a male loggerhead sea turtle, crawled back into the ocean on Thursday at Loggerhead Park in Juno Beach. Voxy was released by Loggerhead Marinelife Center after sucessful rehabilitation. On April 18 biologists at the Florida Power and Light Plant in St. Lucie County took Voxy to LMC after he was found underweight and anemic.

A diet of vitamins and high-calorie foods helped Voxy to gain enough strength to be returned to the Atlantic Ocean.

The Loggerhead Marinelife Center, a nonprofit organization, is committed to the conservation of marine life through public education, research and rehabilitation with a focus on threatened and endangered sea turtles. In addition to providing educational programs, the Loggerhead Marinelife Center operates a sea turtle rehabilitation program, and features aquariums and other marine exhibits and is located at 14200 US Highway One in Juno Beach .
