"The sea turtle eggs will be moved within a week of hatching from about 600 to 800 nests buried across the Florida Panhandle and Alabama beaches. Wildlife experts plan to gather at dawn Friday on a beach near Panama City, Fla., to gently remove eggs from the first nest. The eggs will be packed in coolers with sand, transported by FedEx in climate-controlled vehicles to a high-security facility at Kennedy Space Center on the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, where they'll be monitored until they hatch in about 10 days."
