About Ghost

Species:

Subadult Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas) (CM26-720)

Ghost is a juvenile green sea turtle found in Delray Beach washed up on shore in a ghost net that also contained a shark. There are multiple wounds on the left front flipper that are quite deep; we suspect these are from the shark. Treatments include wound care, regional limb perfusion and antibiotics.
