KOTA KINABALU: A rescued female juvenile green turtle, diagnosed with floater syndrome probably due to ingesting plastics or having bacterial infection, has been released back into the sea by the Sabah Wildlife Department’s Wildlife Rescue Unit.

The turtle, nicknamed Klowyi, was seen floating and unable to dive in Kudat waters a month ago, and was rescued by a Kudat Turtle Conservation Society member who alerted the unit.
