Sea turtles are known for their incredible swimming abilities, but when they become covered in barnacles, this can impede their movement and lead to serious health problems.
Fortunately, concerned people and organizations have stepped up to help these animals in need. By rescuing sea turtles and removing barnacles from their shells, these compassionate volunteers provide a safe life for these majestic creatures.
This process involves carefully removing the barnacles using specialized tools and techniques, and ensuring the turtles are healthy and strong enough to return to the ocean.
By removing the weight and obstruction of barnacles, sea turtles are once again able to move freely and search for food, helping to ensure their survival in the face of threats from large barnacles.
