Mooi verhaal over de vijfde steuruitzet gister, een project van lange adem waar we al in 2010 met WWF Nederland aan begonnen www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

Boeier's Journey: While we've been busy with nesting sea turtles Boeier been busy too, so here's an update for Boeier (Diergaarde Blijdorp / Rotterdam Zoo).

Our last report we reported that Boeier moved from just off the beach across from San Antonio Bay, just south of Surfside/Freeport.

Yesterday, we released more green sea turtle patients from our recent cold stun events with our partners at the Houston Zoo! We also were able to release a loggerhead sea turtle that we have been caring for since October.

We are grateful for the TAMUG Corps of Cadets who came in to help us remove

With a little help from your friends... Thanks to the Port of Rotterdam for supporting the Dutch sturgeon project!

Interesting article on Heterodontus eggs!

No significant difference found between tagged and untagged growth rates and body condition. Also no damage found to the carapace from the tag attachment. #seaturtle #tagging #transmitter

Niels Breve received his PhD at Wageningen University today for his research on the reintroduction of the sturgeon in the Dutch Delta. Together with several partners, we (Rotterdam Zoo) are collaborating on this fascinating project!
