AP: Mississippi First Lady Helps With Turtle Releases

From The Associated Press:

With the help of Mississippi first lady Marsha Barbour, four endangered Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles have been released back into Gulf waters. Barbour joined officials from the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies on Monday in returning the turtles to the Mississippi Sound.

IMMS Director Moby Solangi said the hooks of pier fishermen caught three of the turtles and a shrimp vessel captured the fourth. He says the institute’s veterinarians have been caring for the turtles since their captures in May and June.
