Volunteers and staff from the New England Aquarium, Hanscom Air Force Base and Coast Guard work to load endangered Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles into a Mobile, Ala.-based Coast Guard HC-144A Ocean Sentry for transport from Hanscom to Orlando, Fla., Sun., Dec. 12. Once in Orlando, Sea World staff will continue to rehabilitate the 20 sea turtles and potentially release them back into the wild. (Photo by: Petty Officer 3rd Class Connie Terrell)
