[ open ] operation: baby sea turtle rescue is a go!
WHO: ALL IMPORTS.
WHERE: An Atlantic-facing beach in Eastern Florida.
WHEN: Saturday - Monday
WHAT: Baby leatherback sea-turtles have been stunned by the temperatures of the water at their hatching beach, and must be rounded up in their thousands to be relocated to warmer waters, either to struggle out through the surf on their own, or to be boated out and released directly into the sea!
WARNINGS: ... How can this log have warnings ImPorts rescue baby sea turtles! More information located here.
The long stretch of beach the ImPorts find themselves on is littered with baskets, coolers, styrofoam containers, anything the rescue workers could use to hold the baby sea turtles for transit. Dozens of nests have all emptied of turtles, and gulls roam overhead, looking for opportunities to snatch the stunned baby sea turtles tumbling around in the waves. The shock of the unexpected temperature on their tiny systems renders them incapable of moving, and ImPorts will soon find themselves ushered to the water line to grab tiny, tumbling turtles out of the water.
When enough are collected, a portion of the volunteers and ImPorts are pulled aside to ride with the baby turtles down the coastline to warmer waters, where they'll either be asked to cart the containers down to the waterline to release the baby sea turtles and watch that they don't end up shocked all over again, or instructed to go out to sea on any of the chartered or volunteer-driven boats and release the sea turtles directly into the warmer ocean waters.
Water and lunches will be provided, dinner is haphazard, come as you go. Bright search floodlights are set up on Saturday night so that collection rescue efforts can continue without much interruption. If the same is needed on Sunday night, it will be provided.
For some ImPorts, this will be the first time their arrival isn't treated with great fanfare. People with abilities that assist in the collection and redistribution of the baby sea turtles will get relieved displays of gratitude from attending volunteers and any press drawn to the scene, but much of the fervency seen elsewhere will be largely absent.

[Tsk.]
How many more do you think are here?
no subject
At the rate everyone seems to be going, hopefully not too many more. Not unless they've started making they run into the same problems again.
[ her eyes land upon a gull not too far from there that's eyeing the water as she and winry speak. ]
no subject
I heard there are another couple of nests up in the dunes...
IM SORRY FOR THE TYPOS IN THE LAST TAG
[ something in her tone indicates that she might head up herself if no one else has. there's also a hint of an invitation in that winry's totally free to join her if she wishes. ]
TYPOS EAT BRAINS. It's okay!
no subject
I'll meet you at the base?
[ normally she might be tempted to just fly over there, but since winry's tagging along, she doesn't mind walking up either. ]
no subject
[Winry flashes a thumb's up at America before trotting off to dump the water bottles back into a cooler. she catches up to America a short time later, swatting at her leg, where some biting thing had nipped.]
Someone said there are sand fleas. Whatever they are, they bite hard!
no subject
I'd try not to touch the bites. If they're anything like normal fleas, they can start swelling pretty quick.
no subject
It already hurts.
[She shrugs, because there are more important things.]
I'm ready if you are!
no subject
[ because if she can fly, it totally wouldn't take her that long! ]
You sure you're good?
no subject
It's just a bite. It'll be fine.
[Itchy but fine.]
Let's go!
no subject
[ america nods towards the dune, gathering up the containers she'd managed to grab into her arms again. ]
Lead the way.
no subject
You might need to go ahead!
no subject
I'll take care of them if you can bring the rest of the stuff.
