SeaWorld San Diego had a large population of loggerheads that were either placed in the facility on its establishment from Atlantic stocks, or were brought to the park for rehabilitation (from Pacific stocks). After genetic evaluation, Pacific origin turtles were release from offshore and immediately return to or towards their natal waters in Japan. Three of the turtles were recaptured in Japan by fishers and released alive. One recapture had a full health assessment and appeared to be gravid. Of that were released from San Diego, one moved down the west coast of Mexico and its signal was lost. This turtles had been misidentified as Pacific stock, as was actually Atlantic stock.
