Titan, a Loggerhead turtle, was returned to the ocean Tuesday after being rescued off the Jersey Shore and recovering at Turtle Back Zoo in South Orange.
To put a dent in the number of road casualties, The Wetlands Institute and other local groups install and maintain tubing as a barrier between bodies of water and the road.
