Moving Turtle Eggs Has Begun

Moving sea turtle eggs from a dangerous area has begun.

Cleaning oil from turtles and relocating turtle eggs.

Four environmental groups sued BP and the U.S. Coast Guard last week seeking to block the practice of corralling and burning floating patches of oil or force BP to rescue any turtles inadvertently trapped inside the burn boxes. The parties reached a tentative settlement just before a July 2 hearing in New Orleans and worked through the holiday weekend to complete details.

Nine sea turtles found 40 miles off the coast of Destin and covered in oil.
