The Kemp's ridley sea turtle, Rhossi, washed up on Anglesey at the end of 2023 but was slowly nursed back to health and had been poised to return to the wild.
A young Kemp's ridley sea turtle, Rhossi, stranded in Wales after washing up in late 2023, is unable to return to the US due to a freeze on foreign aid initiated by then-President Trump. This freeze halted funding to the Marine Turtle Conservation Fund, an organization that previously facilitated the repatriation of a similar turtle.
