Hello again,
I’m pleased to report that our efforts were successful and our volunteers from MATTS were able to relocate 77 turtles!
Unfortunately, with the lowering of the water
level, all of the existing organic matter, and the decaying remains of
the fish which were unable to be removed, there will be a bit of an odor
from the facility for what we expect will be a
short period of time. We apologize in advance for this. It is one of
the challenges of the project that is difficult to manage. Please feel
free to steer any concerned residents in my direction and/or forward
this message through your distribution channels.
It would also be helpful if you could pass along
the word that we are advising any curious residents against wandering
into the drained area of the facility. The boundary between firmish
ground and that which will suck the shoes right
off of your feet is very sudden.
Thanks again for your community’s support and understanding of this project!
Best,
-Gabe
