More than 132 brown pelicans exposed to oil along the Louisiana Coast have been rehabilitated, transported on Coast Guard planes and released at Aransas National Wildlife Refuge in Texas in the past week. The refuge was picked since it meets the important coastal habitat needs of the pelicans for breeding. Other refuges along the Texas coast are being considered for more releases in the coming weeks.
