- Master Officers M. and H. Webb rescued four sea turtles in St. Joe Bay due to sub-freezing temperatures. The sea turtles will be rehabilitated and returned to the wild.
- Master Officer M. Webb responded to a marine mammal in distress at Salinas Park. When he arrived on scene, he noticed a nine-foot dolphin in the surf zone. He secured the area and contacted the stranding coordinator for Gulf World. He waited for the responding personnel to arrive and then helped carry the dolphin onshore. Aid was rendered to the dolphin, and then it was loaded onto a transport vehicle for further treatment.
