Galway Atlantaquaria is to return a rescued turtle to the ocean after six months of rehabilitation.
Columbus the Loggerhead turtle was discovered by Jonathan Padden on a beach in Mayo in February.
Initially mistaken for a small rock, the stricken turtle underwent months of intense care and rehabilitation.
He'll now be shortly returned to the sea - and members of Galway Atlantaquaria are invited to say goodbye tomorrow.
