KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - One of several sea turtles rescued from the Mosquito Lagoon is ready for release.  The turtles were found stunned, impacted by the unseasonal cold temperatures experienced in Central Florida.  The cooperative effort of KSC contractor Dynamac Corporation's Aquatics Program and the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge warmed the turtles and evaluated them for release.  Most were tagged and one received the transmitter, provided by the University of Central Florida, for satellite tracking.  The turtles were then transported in a skiff through the Haulover Canal to a location away from the main channel and released back into the Mosquito Lagoon. KSC-03pd0220
