"Will" is an adult male Kemp's ridley turtle found half buried in the sand on Harbor Island near Port Aransas, Texas on 19 April 2009. He was named "Will" during his rehabiliation at the Animal Rehabilitation Keep (ARK) program at the University of Texas Marine Science Institute (UTMSI) in Port Aransas. "Will" was outfitted with a Sirtrack KiwiSat 101 satellite transmitter by the TAMUG STFERL on 23 July 2009 and released into the Gulf of Mexico off Mustang Island, near Port Aransas, TX. This is the first male Kemp's ridley to be tracked by the TAMUG STFERL.
