Ozzy

On November 23, 2013, Ozzy was found caught up in fishing line and a crab trap rope in open water off of Pasco County. The entanglement caused a severe laceration around the base of her right front flipper, which resulted in her immediate transportation to Clearwater Marine Aquarium for treatment.  Shortly after arrival, a spiral fracture through Ozzy’s humerus was identified in addition to the serious laceration.  Through therapy and wound care, she regained her strength under the watchful eye of the turtle team.  After passing several veterinary tests to assess her deep water swimming strength and her ability to hunt for food, Ozzy was cleared for release from Clearwater Beach on September 9, 2015.

On average, transmitters will send signals for around 1 year from the time the turtle is released. Sometimes it can be 2 years, and sometimes it can be less than a year. The turtle icon location point represents the most recent location received for this turtle. It is not uncommon for a transmitter to skip a day or two due to the turtle’s behavior or biofouling on the transmitter or antenna. This map is automatically updated with new points as soon as they are received by the Sea Turtle Conservancy. If the most recent point is more than two months old, then the transmitter is most likely no longer working.
