Heartwarming moment turtle is finally released back into the ocean after serious injury

Australian Seabird Rescue Central Coast worked for six months to rehabilitate Ned, the green sea turtle, after he was struck by a boat and had his shell cracked. His rescuer Robert Olive developed a special bond with Ned and kept him in a tub in his suburban backyard. Ned's vet Dr Jonathon Howard worked alongside Mr Olive to give Ned a second chance. Boat strikes and plastic are two of the biggest killers of ocean turtles. Video by: Michael Dahlstrom
