I just want to share with you a couple of interesting news pieces that I have come across this week.

The video below, released by NOAA and posted on the USCG website, shows the capture and assessment of sea turtles in the gulf.



This article describes Kemp's ridley sea turtle hatchlings being released into the gulf from Padre Island National Seashore. Since Texas remains oil-free, this procedure will continue as in previous years.
