Giant Gulf sea turtle replanting trial ends with 281 hatchings
Texas reporter Hart Stilwell relays the Padre Island turtle transplant project led by Dearl Adams. Of 1,640 eggs buried in May 1966, 281 hatched by June, with nine more later. Adams plans a larger program for 1967 backed by the Valley Sportsmen's Club. He notes efforts to protect nests from coyotes and buzzards and discusses broader firearm control concerns.
