Turtle swept 4,000 miles to Wales flies home to Texas
By Oscar EdwardsBBC News
One of The World 's rarest turtles is Returning Home to Texas after washing up 4,000 Miles Away in North Wales .
Tally was found stranded and Near Death on Talacre beach, Flintshire, in 2021 but was nursed back to full health by Anglesey Sea Zoo.
Turtles Fly Too, one group involved, described The Flight to the US as its " furthest and most complex mission".
Tally is a Kemp's ridley turtle, a species mainly found in The Gulf of Mexico and off eastern North America .
But young Kemp's ridley turtles can sometimes be swept across The Atlantic by the Gulf Stream .
Tally will be released from Galveston, Texas, into The Gulf of Mexico in September for what the called " a Second Chance at life".
After washing up in North Wales , Tally was spotted by a dog walker and reported to the (BDMLR).
Biologists from soon realised the turtle was Still Alive and provided months of intensive care until she was healthy again.
" The Cold Waters of the north east Atlantic usually result in certain death for this species of subtropical sea turtle in The Winter , " said Mary Kay Skoruppa, the US Fish and Wildlife Service's Texas sea turtle coordinator.
" But thanks to The Quick response of a great group of international partners and volunteers, Tally is alive and ready to come home. "
Gem Simmons, BDMLR North Wales Rescue Coordinator, was one of The First people to see Tally when she washed up.
" To our surprise she was not only alive, but also one of The Most Endangered Species in The World , " She Said .
" None of us gave her a chance to survive. "
Gem said she was thrilled that The Sea turtle was finally able to " go back to her world".
However, she does expect these occurrences to become more frequent due to " increasing threats" to oceans.
" Last Winter , while Tally was recuperating, there were nearly 20 turtles that washed up. The Rise has been pretty sharp, " She Said .
" In the UK We Are in The Process of developing a network where we can get them back in The Wild in particular. "
How do you transport a turtle between continents?Flying an endangered sea turtle across continents is a complex operation.
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora () is an international agreement between governments.
Its aim is to ensure that International Trade in specimens of Wild Animals and plants does not threaten the survival of the species.
On arrival in the US, Tally will be transferred to Houston Zoo , where veterinarians will ensure she is healthy enough to be released into The Wild .
If approved, researchers will attach a tracking device to monitor her movements after release.
An international team of partners will meet in Galveston to celebrate Tally's release.
" An Endangered Species is one that is At Risk of extinction in the near future, so every individual counts, " said Ms Skoruppa.
" We hope that Tally will grow to maturity and return to nest on a Texas beach in a few years to help ensure her species' survival into The Future . "
