A release event took place on the Gulf Coast, where four sea turtles were set free into the ocean. The turtles had been rescued in March, with three suffering from cold stun and one having serious injuries. They spent months recovering at the Florida Aquarium, receiving care and treatment to aid in their rehabilitation.

After this period, the turtles were deemed ready to return to the ocean. Further details about the release and the turtles' rehabilitation are available from WSVN 7 News, which reported on the event in Apollo Beach, Florida.
