                     TRIBUTE TO CLEARWATER AQUARIUM

  Mr. JOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize the Clearwater Aquarium 
for their new sea turtle habitat.
  Recently, the Clearwater Aquarium opened a new habitat designed for 
sea turtles. These animals are native to our community, but they are 
endangered animals and must be protected. The Clearwater Aquarium has 
one of the few sea turtle habitats in the world occupied solely by 
rescued turtles. Its residents are not able to be released back into 
the wild due to poor health or as a result of injuries they have 
sustained.

  The habitat is a large, spacious area that gives the turtles plenty 
of room to maneuver and not be confined to one area.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the Clearwater Aquarium for their new 
exhibit that provides needed protection and a better way of life for 
these endangered creatures. I ask that this body join me in thanking 
the Clearwater Aquarium for their efforts.
