The South Carolina Aquarium is pleased to announce that they'll be releasing nine sea turtles back into the ocean on Friday, June 3rd, at 3 p.m.

The public is invited to come out and watch eight juvenile green sea turtles and one 200-pound loggerhead be returned to the ocean at Beachwalker County Park on Kiawah Island. Parking space is limited and parking fees apply, so it is strongly encouraged to come early and carpool.
