Two Loggerhead Sea Turtles Released By Friends Of MacArthur Beach State Park, Angari Foundation, And The Florida Park Service Two juvenile loggerhead sea turtles were successfully released into ocean waters on Monday by the Florida Park Service and Friends of John D. MacArthur Beach State Park (Friends) along with ANGARI Foundation. One-year-old Olive and 10-month-old Mac have been cared for by a dedicated team of staff at John D. MacArthur Beach State Park since they were 3 months old. The turtles are part of the park’s educational sea turtle ambassador program to educate visitors about the importance of sea turtle conservation. The state park receives over 150,000 visitors annually and over 4,000 of those visitors are students who participate in education programs, where the sea turtles are a major focal point. For the Friends, sharing these ambassadors with visitors amplifies the mission to inspire appreciation and conservation of our ocean.

“During their time at MacArthur Beach State Park, our sea turtle ambassadors educated thousands of visitors about sea turtles and conservation,” said Veronica Frehm, CEO of Friends of MacArthur Beach State Park. “It is these personal encounters that can spark people’s interests and can help them on their way to becoming lifelong sea turtle advocates. Our conservation and research efforts are helping ensure these species remain part of our ocean for years to come. We look forward to getting a new sea turtle ambassador in the coming months.” John D. MacArthur Beach State Park is the only state park permitted to house sea turtles in Florida. Olive and Mac were named by the social media community. After a week of online and in person voting at Two Loggerhead Sea Turtles on page 2
