CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Padre Island National Seashore hosted their 11th public Kemp’s ridley sea turtle hatchling release for 2019 on Saturday morning around 7 a.m.
The release took place in front of the Malaquite Beach Visitor Center at Padre Island National Seashore.
The park said they hope to have about 9-14 more releases before the year is over.
If you'd like to attend a release you can find the information on the Padre Island National Seashore Facebook page.
They ask if you do attend a release to not bring food, wear white, or use flash photography to avoid disorienting the hatchlings.
