Bryan Frazier Another rehabbed turtle gets set free.
The turtle was one of three released today in South Padre by the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department.
It was the big finale to the "Jeff 'Yappo' Boruff YappoPalooza," a fundraising effort honoring the late son of TPWD senior staff member Scott Boruff that benefited sea turtle conservation.
"In addition to helping support the bi-national conservation effort to protect sea turtles, I'm just honored that this extraordinary group of people has helped me create a legacy for my son, and it's a legacy Jeff would have been proud of," said Boruff.
