Ossie, a sea turtle long cared for at the Tybee Island Marine Science Center in Georgia, has been released to live in the wild. The release marks the end of the animal's rehabilitation at the coastal facility, which rescues and cares for stranded sea turtles before returning healthy animals to the ocean.

Two former marine biologists who swapped science for hospitality have been named South Australia's Best Specialty Restaurant. The award recognises the couple's unusual career change, moving from marine research to running a restaurant, and puts their venue at the top of the state's specialty dining category.
