Mote releases green sea turtle on Longboat Key
Paul Waldrop and Mike Leworthy release C.J. the sea turtle back into Sarasota Bay after the two found him injured a year ago.
Dana Harenda, an employee of Save Our Seabirds, catches some GoPro footage as C.J. the sea turtle says his goodbyes after release.
A crowd of nearly twenty people gathered near Moore's Stone Crab Restaurant in Longboat Key for the turtles release.
After a year of rehabilitation at the Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium, C.J. the sea turtle swims off into Sarasota Bay.
