Patient Updates
Alma is doing well and is learning how to eat herring all on her own!
Alma is growing more each day and preparing to move into a pool!
Alma is progressing well and is now in a training pool with some friends where she will learn to compete for fish.
Alma is doing great and will be ready for a pre-release pool any day now !
Hiya! I was part of the rescue crew that helped Alma out of the water. We would have left her alone, except she was swimming around in a diesel spill in the bay and seemed tired.
I hope she is doing well and gains weight fast.
