Reptile Rescue

Coast Guard crew members help carry a rehabilitated turtle from a transport truck to a Texas Game Warden small boat at Station Port Aransas, Texas, Feb. 22, 2021, so the turtle can be transported safely out to sea. On Feb. 18, volunteers helped rescue more than 400 cold-stunned turtles, who were then brought to local rehabilitation centers.
