From the local newspaper, this tidbit of environmental news...
The first endangered Kemp's ridley turtle known to have nested this year on the Texas Coast laid 84 eggs on South Padre Island Tuesday, officials said...
From 1979 through 1996, only 17 Kemp's ridley nestings were recorded in Texas. Last year, the known Kemp's ridley nestings on Texas beaches hit 102, more than double 2005's record of 50.
