A Hawksbill, named Hope, prepares to be released back to the Atlantic Ocean by the Coast Guard and members of Gumbo-Limbo Nature Center July 27, 2015. Hope is considered a washback, a turtle previously released to the wild but due to illness washed back ashore and needed to be rehabilitated for a second time.
