Sea Turtles are frequently poached by spearing in the neck region and subsequently holding them alive until slaughter. Thus the ability of stranding networks to repair and rehabilitate these animals is of interest. Two Hawksbill Turtles, Eretmochelys imbricata, illegally collected by spear fishing 8 May 1993 were confis- cated by the Puerto Rico Maritime Police and referred to the Caribbean Stranding Network for rehabilitation (Case # NEPCH136). The lacerated cervical region of both animals was surgically repaired. One adult male turtle 67 cm in carapace length and weighing 46.8 km lacking additional injuries recovered and was released (flipper tags QQD915, QQD916). A juvenile female was 46.0 cm in carapace length and 15.2 kg in weight with additional injuries succumbed to bacteria (Proteus mirabilis and Serratia rubridea) infections despite treatment with ampicillin trihydrate. A necropsy found routine numbers and diversity of parasites that were reported elsewhere. This result demonstrates that speared sea turtles without further complications can be rehabilitated. Since this somewhat early surgery, new techniques have been developed to even more successfully manage
