On Jekyll Island off the Georgia coast, some sea turtles and people who care about their survival marked a small victory on Thursday. The Georgia Sea Turtle Center teamed up with volunteers from Northeast aquariums and conservation groups to move 33 Kemp’s ridley sea turtles and one green sea turtle to warmer southeastern waters where they can thrive. John Yang reports.
