Sea turtle released into ocean

MIAMI (WSVN) -- A sea creature was nursed back to health and sent back into the wild.

Stella the adult green sea turtle swam in open waters on Friday.

The Weather Channel's "Coast Guard Florida" show worked with The Turtle Hospital in Marathon to release her into Florida Bay.

Stella was found floating in the waters off the Keys last year missing a fin and very sick.
