Florida wildlife officials looking for tattooed woman seen riding sea turtle

Woman sits on turtle on Melbourne Beach

State wildlife officials are investigating after a picture surfaced on social media of a woman sitting on top of a sea turtle on Melboue Beach.

Florida Fish and Wildlife officers said they’ve received dozens of complaints and have begun looking into the case.

WFTV received multiple emails about the photo.

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact the Wildlife Alert hotline by texting or emailing Tip@MyFWC.com or by calling 888-404-3922.

Also in Florida, a couple who destroyed sea turtle nests on a Florida barrier island set off a firestorm among nature lovers in the town and on social media.

Police and residents of Anna Maria Islandare searching for a couple who police say devastated five sea turtle nests on Bradenton and Holmes beaches this week.
