A beach photographer who was taking photos of the sunrise in Martin County Florida on Wednesday July 16 saw a female loggerhead sea turtle that weighs 300 pounds trapped in the shoreline rocks near the House of Refuge.
The photographer whose gender and name are confidential contacted the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC) and the Martin County Fire Rescue (MFCR) who worked together to remove the female turtle who was free to go back from the beach to the Atlantic Ocean safe and sound.

He would certainly need help to remove the female turtle, at a weight of 300 pound, as that is one very large, and heavy, animal.

You are right since lifting a huge turtle take a Hercules type of strength.
