BILOXI, Miss. - The Mississippi Aquarium hosted its own form of graduation while reaching a milestone of releasing its 100th sea turtle back into its habitat. Thirteen endangered Kemp Ridley sea turtles are now heading out into the Mississippi Sound. Sean Perry, associate veterinarian with the Mississippi Aquarium, said the sea turtles arrived from their nesting grounds in New England after surviving the cold. Perry said it happens to between 300 and 1,000 turtles annually. (WLOX 05/25/23)
