MARATHON, FLA. (WSVN) - Staff from the Florida Keys-based Turtle Hospital have released a rehabilitated green sea turtle back into the ocean in Marathon.

The 100-pound juvenile was rescued in February after being discovered floating offshore and unable to dive.

The endangered reptile was treated with antibiotics, fluids, vitamins and a nourishing diet of fish, squid and greens.
