This is a special episode from Sea Change, the nature podcast from WWNO and WRKF. Sea Change brings you stories that illuminate, inspire – and sometimes enrage – as they dive deep into the environmental issues facing coastal communities on the Gulf Coast and beyond. 

In this specific episode, they take you on a journey to the remote Chandeleur islands to try to find the most endangered sea turtle on the planet, Kemp’s Ridley. After 75 years, these mysterious turtles have been discovered on the shores of Louisiana. It’s a story of loss and restoration – of hope and heartbreak.
