Overview:
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation is proud to announce that FedEx Corporation is joining the efforts to protect sea turtle nests and eggs from potential impacts of the oil spill in the northern Gulf of Mexico.  FedEx Custom Critical will be donating resources to transport hundreds of nests containing thousands of eggs to Florida’s Atlantic Coast, and its logistics experts are working with the Unified Command and its partner organizations to implement this complex translocation. The relocation efforts began in early-July and are scheduled to continue throughout the hatching season.

Jason, great meeting you and your team this week at the Panama City US Fish and Wildlife Service. I was one of the South Carolina middle school science teachers you talked to. Rex, the other teacher, and I came down to the Gulf to see what we could do to help. As we journeyed to Florida, we were calling different agencies to find out where we could go to be the most help. A common response was...if you see a FedEx truck near the beach, you are in the right place! I will be using your great recovery photos in my class presentations. Thanks again, Garrison Hall Gable Middle School Spartanburg, SC
