Bailey is one of our green sea turtles with a rear buoyancy issue. Bailey had been living in T1, or Turtle Cove, for most of the time, however due to his physical ailments, he has certain medical management that is required to keep him healthy. When Bailey was only a 75 pound juvenile green sea turtle, he was caught in a fishing net, hauled onto the boat and dropped onto the boat deck before he could be released. When this happened, he suffered issues with rear spine paralysis and a buoyancy issue. Due to this condition, he was brought to CMA and kept as a non-releasable resident in our animal family.
Well, after many years in smaller tanks with no underwater viewing capabilities, his new home not only in 10 times as big as what he has lived in, but also has 2 new windows for him to check out himself and the public! He has spent the majority of his time swimming up against the windows, showing people how handsome and agile he is and all of the new space has really increased his appetite! The platform is still submerged in the pool so we will be putting some people in the water and trying to get him to start allowing the sea turtle team to desensitize him to tactile and feeding. Come by and see Bailey in his new digs…this is the closest you can get to a sea turtle here at CMA!

Bailey is a cute turtle. It’s great what you do for all these sea animals. Wish you guys weren’t so far
away. I live in Seattle, Washington. My granddaughters would love to visit your facility. They got the movie Dolphin Tale for Christmas and must watch it 3 times a day when they can. I wish there was a facility like yours in our area where I could volunteer my help. I love animals. If you know of anything like you around here or how I can find out please let me know. Not sure who reads these.
Sincerely,
Irene

I was one of the many who has had the absolute honor and pleasure of meeting Bailey yesterday, February 4, 2012 and I am now a life long fan! He is a joy to meet and to just be around. When my close friends and I went to see a turtle, I had no clue this big guy would totally steal my heart. Indeed, he has! He is such a friendly animal and he loves to hear his name being called and take pictures, which I made sure to get plenty of!
Do NOT get me wrong, Winter is awesome, but Bailey……there are no words I can really say about him without crying. I cannot wait to go back to Clearwater Marine Aquarium and see Bailey! He puts a huge smile on my face and he will be in my heart forever! I cannot wait to see Bailey again!!
Sincerely,
Elizabeth!

My friends and I, from Massachusetts, have saved money to help Bailey the Sea Turtle. We hope he does well in his new home.
We will be sending more money to help you guys. We are trying to save the sea turtles too. We would love to see more sea turtles safe at their new home.
Do you have any videos of Bailey in his new home?
You have inspired my friends and me to help save the sea turtles. Thank you for all your hard work.

i just LOVE dolphins so much,they are my most FAVORITE animals on the planet, and i watch all the dolphins on the webcams and i have noticed that bailey’s webcam isn’t working for the last 2 months(that shows how much i like to watch the animals), why is it not working, P.S. i so loved the movie, made me so happy to see winter doing so well now, now that she has a fin(even if its not real), so she can be happy in life( i hop).

Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any methods to stop hackers?

I simply wanted to appreciate you yet again. I am not sure what I could possibly have done in the absence of those solutions documented by you concerning that field. Completely was a alarming condition in my position, but understanding this expert style you handled that took me to jump with delight. I am thankful for your work and hope that you really know what a great job that you are putting in instructing many people through your websites. Most likely you haven’t got to know all of us.

What i do not realize is in reality how you are now not actually much more neatly-favored than you might be right now. You’re so intelligent. You already know thus significantly in the case of this subject, made me personally consider it from a lot of numerous angles. Its like women and men aren’t involved unless it’s one thing to accomplish with Girl gaga! Your personal stuffs outstanding. At all times deal with it up!

One other important issue is that if you are a mature person, travel insurance with regard to pensioners is something you need to really take into account. The more mature you are, the more at risk you are for making something poor happen to you while abroad. If you are not necessarily covered by a few comprehensive insurance cover, you could have a number of serious complications. Thanks for sharing your suggestions on this blog site.

In this awesome design of things you actually receive a B+ for hard work. Where you confused everybody ended up being on the details. As they say, the devil is in the details… And it could not be much more true right here. Having said that, permit me tell you precisely what did do the job. Your article (parts of it) can be really powerful and that is probably why I am making the effort in order to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, even though I can see the leaps in reason you make, I am not convinced of exactly how you appear to unite the ideas which make your final result. For the moment I will, no doubt subscribe to your issue however trust in the future you link your facts better.
