Why Lil Diggity is Here: On August 23, 2022, our sea turtle patrol team was assisting almost 100 newly hatched sea turtles to the ocean. Some of those hatchlings were not very strong, including Lil Diggity. Lil Diggity was brought to the GSTC for care. Join Lil Diggity's adoptive family to follow this turtle's journey!
