Turtle rescued in South Walton

[Gwen Break]

Emerald Coast Wildlife rescued The Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge rescued a sea turtle from Walton County on May 8, 2012. It was transported it in the back of a Ford Excursion and we had to make sure the turtle was safe for its trip to Gulf World as the Refuge had no facilities to house the turtle.
