100th Turtle Release on Quoin Island

Last week GN had the privilege of attending the 100^th Turtle Release on Quoin Island. Quoin Island, located just off the coast of Gladstone, holds a Turtle Rehabilitation Centre. The centre is Gladstone’s first permanent marine turtle rehabilitation facility and has been open and operational since early 2012.

Previously our region had no such rehabilitation facility dedicated to marine life, which impelled Quoin Island Retreat owner Bob McCosker to establish the centre, along with support from Australia Pacific LNG.
