While patrolling a known drug-transit zone off the coast of Central America, the local Coast Guard jumped into "rescue mode" when a suspicious package turned out to be a pair of tangled sea turtles! After freeing one, the team noticed the second turtle had wrapped the line tight around its neck in the struggle to break free. "There was no question what we had to do," the team recalls. Some delicate knife work later, both turtles swam off with little trouble – a success celebrated by all on board.
