Young Sea Turtle Struggles in BP Oil Slick

A young sea turtle, coated with rust-red oxidizing oil, struggles to climb onto a piece of driftwood to escape "dispersed" oil off Venice, LA. Our boat captain lifted the turtle out of the water, rinsed it in clean sea water, motored 2 miles away from the oil & released the turtle, who swam off like a little bottle rocket, looking much cleaner & more energetic than when we'd found it.
