Johnny Vasco de Gama, the endangered Kemp’s ridley sea turtle, underwent rehabilitation after being stranded in the Netherlands — thousands of miles away from home. He was rescued in November 2008. On Tuesday, Nov. 29, Mote Marine Laboratory received him, gave him a brief physical exam and moved him to a medical pool. He was under the weather, and after two-and-a-half years, he soon will be under the water.
