A Coast Guard Air Station Sacramento, Calif., HC-130 aircrew prepare to load two sea turtles found too far north of the Washington coast and transport them to San Diego, April 21, 2016. The El Nino season has caused strong current which pushed the two sea turtle too far north out of the waters in which they thrive. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 3rd Class Adam Stanton)
