This morning we headed with a full barge, over to Hook Island, our first stop was to release Crush off Hook Island. Crush is a juvenile green turtle who came into care in June, he was suffering from float. After a few months of TLC at the Whitsunday Turtle Rescue Centre Crush made a full recovery and was able to be released. After the release we cleaned three beaches which were heavily impacted with lots of tiny pieces of plastic.
