Two rescued sea turtles are heading back into the ocean after recovering from serious health issues at an Auckland aquarium.

The two turtles, Spock and Kibou, were released off Northland’s Tutukaka coast after a karakia on March 17.
Spock, a green sea turtle, was found on Muriwai beach in September 2020 with serious injuries to digits on both her front flippers.
She was taken to Kelly Tarlton’s aquarium and made a full recovery after getting the digits amputated.
Kibou, a loggerhead turtle, was found stranded in October 2019, also on Muriwai beach.
He had a severe shoulder wound and lung infection.
Kibous received urgent care from Auckland Zoo’s vet hospital, including intensive care and antibiotic treatments.
He gained 13kg ahead of his release.
“I would love to say that all turtles are as lucky as Kibou and Spock but unfortunately that’s not the case as there are significant threats facing turtles in the wild,” Louise Greenshields from SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s said.
Turtles face danger from “human impacts” such as boat strikes, entanglement, plastic ingestion or habitat destruction.
Earlier this year, a protected black turtle died after a boat propeller lacerated its shell and punctured its lung.
Team Turtle urges people to report injured or stranded turtles to the DOC emergency hotline on 0800 DOC HOT (0800 362 468).

A classic British breakfast bun, tender dough is loaded with diced apple, raisins, citrus zest, cinnamon and currants. After rising and formed into balls, it rises once more then a flour and water paste gets piped across the top of the dough before baking to form the perfect looking Hot Cross Buns. Once baked the buns are glazed with an apricot jam and are ready to eat. You’ll not be disappointed!
Ingredients
4 cups bread flour (500 g)
2 tsp salt (10 g)
6 tbsp sugar (75 g)
1 tbsp instant yeast (10 g)
3 tbsp butter softened, (40 g)
2 eggs medium
1/2 cup warm milk (120 ml)
1/2 cup water separated, (120 ml)
3/4 cup golden raisins (150 g)
1/4 currants (50 g)
1 tbsp orange zest (15 g)
1 tbsp lemon zest (15 g)
1 medium sweet apple (See Note 1) diced
2 tsp cinnamon
3 tbsp apricot jam (40 g)
For the Crosses
6 tbsp flour (80 g)
6 tbsp water (75 ml)
Instructions
1. To a mixer with the dough hook attached, add the flour, salt, sugar and yeast. Turn it on for a few spins to mix and then turn off. Add the softened butter, eggs, milk and 1/4 cup of water. Mix and add more of the remaining water, a little at a time, until all the flour has been incorporated into the dough from sides of bowl. You don't need to use all of the remaining water if you don't have to. DOUGH SHOULD BE SOFT, NOT SOGGY.
2. Knead for 5 minutes on hook, OR if kneading by hand, turn dough on to a lightly floured surface and knead by holding the dough with one hand and stretching it with the heal of the other hand, then folding it back on itself. Repeat for 5 mins until smooth and elastic.
3. Put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with oiled cling film or light towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 hr or until doubled in size and a finger pressed into it leaves a dent (See Note 2).
4. With the dough still in the bowl, add the golden raisins, currants, citrus zest, diced apple and cinnamon. Knead into the dough, making sure everything is well distributed. Leave to rise for 1 hr more, or until doubled in size, again covered by some well-oiled cling film to stop the dough getting a crust.
5. Divide the dough into 12 even pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball on a lightly floured work surface by cupping the dough piece with your hand and moving in a circular motion, working the dough into a ball.
6. Arrange the buns on one or two baking trays lined with parchment paper, leaving a little space for the dough to expand. Cover (but don’t wrap) with more oiled cling film, and set aside to proof for 1 more hour.
7. Preheat the oven to 425°F, 220C
8. Mix the flour with the water to make the paste for the cross – it should be a thick paste. Spoon into a piping bag with a small nozzle, or plastic bag with an end tip cut off. Pipe a straight line along each row of buns, then repeat in the other direction to create crosses. Bake for 20 mins on the middle shelf of the oven, until golden brown.
9. Heat the apricot jam plus 1 teaspoon of water in a microwave for 30 seconds to melt, then sieve to get rid of any chunks if needed. Brush over the top of the warm buns and allow to cool slightly. Serve with more jam and butter if desired.
Notes
Apple varieties that are on the sweet side are Honey Crisp, Gala, Golden Delicious, Ambrosia™ and Red Delicious.
Either turn empty oven on to heat to 200°F and heat. Turn off and then add bowl of dough to rise. OR turn your EMPTY dryer on for 2-3 minutes to heat it up. When stopped and heated up, carefully place the covered bowl of dough in and close the door. DO NOT turn the dryer on again!
