Ridley Sea Turtles Placed Under Conservation Watch
In June 1967 Adams and the Lower Rio Grande Valley Sportsmen's Club airlifted 2,000 Ridley eggs from Tampico to Padre Island and 1,102 hatchlings reached the sea. Poaching and slaughter reduced Ridleys to about 10,000 by 1973, prompting ongoing Operation Turtle Watch through July to locate any arriving turtles.
