LAUDERDALE-BY-THE-SEA (AP) – Officials say dozens of disoriented baby sea turtles were rescued from a storm drain in South Florida hours after they hatched on the beach.

Lou Fisher, of the Broward County Natural Resource Planning and Management Division, says environmental surveyors followed the hatchlings’ tracks Wednesday morning. They called firefighters, who then managed to pull the hatchlings out of the 15-foot drain.
