Griffin, a loggerhead turtle, had been cared for by the Ga. Sea Turtle Center on Jekyll Island. After 4 years of intensive care and therapy it was determined that Griffin would never be able to dive or feed himself. The difficult decision was made to euthanize him. Over the years he had become the favorite of the staff and had more than 300 adoptive parents. It was only fitting that he be made into a living memorial as an Eternal Reef and placed back in the ocean where he belongs.
