Tallahassee.com reports:

"During a visit to the Franklin County park earlier this month, educator Elizabeth Franklin Waller and some middle-school campers spotted a Kemp's Ridley sea turtle on the beach. Of the seven species of sea turtles, the Kemp's Ridleys are considered the most endangered, according to The Sea Turtle Restoration Project. Katie Dickey, 15, a soon-to-be sophomore at Godby High School, was one of several students who captured photos and footage of the sea turtle, as it began to lay eggs." See full article.
