An endangered Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle awaits staff and volunteers from the New England Aquarium to give him a check up, fluids and any medication he may need before being transported from the Animal Care Center in Quincy, Mass., to Hanscom Air Force Base in Lincoln, Mass., Sun. Dec. 12. Twenty sea turtles were prepared and taken to the air base where they were loaded onto a Mobile, Ala.-based Coast Guard HC-144A Ocean Sentry for a trip to Orlando, Fla., where they will continue rehabilitation at Sea World before being potentially released back into the wild.
