[ 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.

[Of course he does have super speed, he could probably make it.]

[He turns and runs, becoming a blur as he picks up speed, kicking up a trail of sand behind him. He more falls than stops in front of the boat, then looks aboard.
It's empty at the moment.
He climbs onto the deck and finds a few buckets of fish he thinks (hopes) are starting to go bad. Maybe the fishermen won't miss them.
He hops back off the boat and wades onto shore, holding a bucket.]
Over here! [He sloshes the bucket around, a few fish falling into the sand, hoping that catches their attention.]
no subject
She helps by waving to the gulls and pointing to the fish.]
There, you featherbags! Happy? [The birds fly straight toward the catch of the day, and Anita is caught among them. She bats them away from her face.] Watch where you're going!
no subject
Get out of here, go on!
[At least they're more interested than the fish than the turtles or the rest of his lunch...]
no subject
Finally. Thanks.
no subject
[He flops down in the sand next to her.] Thank you for your help, Anita.
no subject
At least you helped get rid of them.
no subject
[They probably wouldn't have pecked her to death, but the sentiment is the same.]
no subject
If that happened, I'd come back and haunt you.
no subject
He watches the other busy volunteers for a moment.]
Besides that, are you enjoying rescuing the turtles?
[Rei thinks they're cute.]
no subject
She shrugs absently.]
Mmm, I get paid for it. But I gotta admit...they are sorta cute. [Just not as cute as frogs. Don't ask.]
no subject
Mm. My friends would love something like this.
[He looks down and drags his hand through the sand. He should know better than to start talking about his friends, it only makes him sad.]
Anyway, now that lunch is over [and gone to the birds, as it were] I guess I should get back to it.
no subject
She nods.]
Good idea, now that the seagulls are gone. I'll go with you...chasing them away made me hungry.
Good end spot?
Yup, we can end here!
