    Momma Turtle Conquers Oil

    By SurfnSand  |  Posted June 16, 2010  |  Orange Beach, Alabama
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     SurfnSand says late Monday night, a sea turtle swam ashore to lay her 105 eggs on the oily beach. 'This 300-pound turtle had to go through like an obstacle course of ships and booms to go lay her eggs.' Soon after she left her eggs, BP set up their clean-up crews right over the nest. City workers told BP to move and also relocated the nest higher up in the dunes for safety.
