JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga. (AP) - One of three turtles at the new Georgia Sea Turtle Center had surgery on Monday, only two days after the center opened.
Nick, one of three loggerhead sea turtles at the facility, has been at the center since he was rescued with injuries in May off Cumberland Island.
Dr. J. Melvin Deese Jr. of Brunswick performed the surgery at the Sea Turtle Center. Deese and his surgical team implanted bone screws and attached an external fixation device to stabilize Nick's head injury.
