Our pilot boat crew rescued this little guy (or girl) found floating in the harbour next to Stokes Hill Wharf over the weekend, as the Hawksbill turtle appeared to be unable to submerge itself.  

The turtle is now in the care of the turtle rehabilitation facility at the Charles Darwin University until it is ready to be released back into the wild.
