6/29/2011 - A Kemp's ridley sea turtle was found stranded along Eglin's restricted portion of Santa Rosa Island by Eglin Sea Turtle Monitoring Program managers June 28. The 20-pound, 14-inch turtle was flipped on her side as a result of rough surf and appeared lethargic and emaciated. Turtle monitors took newly-named "Talulla" to the Gulfarium on Okaloosa Island for treatment. She will be eventually be released back into the Gulf of Mexico. (Photo/Erica Laine)
