  ScienceDaily: Leatherback Seaturtle Rehabilitating At New England Aquarium
The seaturtle is being given fluids supplemented with calcium, electrolytes and sugars to counteract dehydration and low calcium, glucose and electrolyte levels.
The leatherback seaturtle is currently housed in a 3,600 gallon pool in the New England Aquarium’s on-site rescue and rehabilitation facility.
Unlike other seaturtles, leatherbacks are covered by a leathery skin similar to mammalian skin, and they can easily injure their delicate skin on rough walls, straps or buckles.

 Hinterland Who's Who - Leatherback Seaturtle
Sightings of juvenile turtles are extremely rare, and there is little information on the biology, distribution, or habits of young turtles, although recent research suggests that hatchlings remain in tropical waters until their carapace is a metre long.
The leatherback seaturtle is classified as critically endangered by the World Conservation Union and as endangered by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada.
In Canada, leatherback seaturtles, as marine reptiles, fall into the definition of “fish.” As such, they are protected by the Fisheries Act, which makes it illegal to take or kill “fish” without a permit from Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

 LiveScience.com - Seaturtle Rehabilitation
An endangered leatherback seaturtle is being nursed back to health at the New England Aquarium.
To get around this last problem, the seaturtle has been outfitted with a custom harness made out of felt-like car-wash strips, which allows it to move without colliding with the sides of the 3,600-gallon tank where it’s being held.
The seaturtle is under 24-hour surveillance and aquarium veterinarians say its health seems to be improving.

 LiveScience.com - Image of the Day: Fishermen Reduce Seaturtle Death By Changing Bait
The researchers spent 30 days working with local fisherman onboard a longline fishing vessel, where they conducted 15 experiments using a normal long line with forty baited hooks.
When the fisherman substituted their traditional squid bait for mackerel and fished the hooks slightly deeper, they caught the same number of swordfish but far less seaturtles.
The study was performed by Ricardo Sagarminaga van Buiten of the Spanish Cetacean Society and Ana Cañadas of Alnitak and University Autónoma of Madrid; it was supported by the volunteer organization, Earthwatch Institute.
