This female Olive Ridley turtle was found by Six Senses Laamu (Laamu Atoll) entangled in a net (with Snoopy) on 13 February, and was sent to us for care.
Eddy has injuries on her front flippers and plastron, but with some treatment and rehabilitation we hope she will be eligible for release in the coming months. She already is accepting food and is happy to rest at the bottom of her pool.
