Turtle Eggs avoid Gulf Oil Danger

Before sunrise, Bob Miller uses his hands to carefully excavate a Loggerhead sea turtle nest at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, on August 9, 2010. Mr. Miller is the Sea Turtle Program Manager of the 96th Civil Engineer Squadron. The 112 eggs below will be placed in Styrofoam coolers with the white sand. Because of the critical attachment of the embryo to the inside of the egg shell, the eggs must be gently transported to the Atlantic coast where they will be allowed to hatch in the cooler. Wildlife technicians will then release them into the ocean. (U.S. Air Force photo/Lance Cheung)

The 96th Civil Engineer Squadron is working with other governmental agencies, whose goal is the transportation of more than 700 sea turtle egg nests from the Gulf Coast to the Atlantic coast. When they get there, eggs are monitored at a climate-controlled facility, where they will be allowed to hatch in the cooler. Wildlife technicians will then release them into the ocean.

Turtle Eggs avoid Gulf Oil Danger

Sunrises as biologists at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., begin packing two coolers with Loggerhead sea turtle eggs on August 9, 2010. Every egg gets a gentle slow-motion lift from their beach nest. Because of the critical attachment of the embryo to the inside of the eggshell, the eggs must be gently lifted with out tilting or rotating, the egg. With extreme care the transportation to the Atlantic coast is equally critical. At a controlled climate facility, they will be allowed to hatch in the cooler. Wildlife technicians will then release them into the ocean. (U.S. Air Force photo/Lance Cheung)
