FRIDAY 9/7: ‘Trouble’ the Loggerhead Turtle To Gain Freedom

The Virginia Aquarium Stranding Response Team will release “Trouble,” a loggerhead sea turtle, at the Cape Charles Beach Friday, September 7, at 1 p.m.

The release will take place next to the Gazebo at the corner of Randolph and Bay avenues.

Trouble was rescued off Onancock on July 6 after its right rear flipper had become entangled in crab pot gear. With the help of several boaters, the Virginia Aquarium Stranding Response Team was able to net the turtle and take it to the aquarium for rehabilitation.

Trouble will be fitted with a satellite transmitter so the team can track his or her movements on seaturtle.org.
