Sirru is a resilient olive ridley sea turtle who was part of a double-rescue after two turtles were found entangled in a ghost net that drifted onto the house reef of Sirru Fen Fushi Resort. While the other trapped turtle was able to be released immediately, Sirru wasn’t as lucky—she had already lost one front flipper due to the entanglement and suffered injuries on all her remaining flippers, as well as her plastron (the underside of her shell). Despite this, Sirru has a strong personality and isn’t afraid to show it! She is lively, determined, and fiercely independent, already swimming confidently in her tank and even making attempts to dive. With her fighting spirit and the dedicated care she is receiving, we are hopeful that Sirru will continue to heal and return to the ocean where she truly belongs.
