The Girls Camp Where 20 Children Are Missing Is Nearly a Century Old
Camp Mystic, the Christian summer camp for girls on the Guadalupe River where at least 20 children were missing in catastrophic flooding on Friday, is nearly a century old. Its facilities include a recreation hall that was constructed in the 1920s from local cypress trees. In a brief email to parents on Friday morning, Camp Mystic said it had sustained 'catastrophic level floods.' The camp has two sites along the river in Hunt, Texas. Parents of campers who have not been accounted for have been notified, the email said. About 750 girls were at the camp this week, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick of Texas said at a news conference on Friday. The camp said that it was assisting with search-and-rescue operations, but that it did not have power, water or Wi-Fi and was struggling to get more help because a nearby highway had washed away. On social media and in text messages, parents circulated photos of some of the missing girls, and exchanged hopeful stories that they were hearing about dramatic rescues: girls clinging to trees, or floating downriver to a boys camp five miles away. Camp Mystic aims 'to provide young girls with a wholesome Christian atmosphere in which they can develop outstanding personal qualities and self-esteem,'its website said. It draws from families around Texas and beyond, with the youngest campers entering third grade in the fall. The camp was established in 1926, according to its website, and has been run by generations of the same family since the 1930s. The current owners, Dick and Tweety Eastland, have been with the camp since 1974. They worked alongside the previous owners for years after graduating from the University of Texas in Austin. Camp activities include archery, cooking, cheerleading, fishing and a variety of sports. Videos posted to the camp's Instagram account show large groups of girls participating in group dance performances this summer. The affected stretch of the Guadalupe River is home to several summer camps for children, including Camp La Junta for boys, about five miles from Camp Mystic. The boys camp informed families on Friday that all campers there were safe and fed, but evacuations would not begin until at least 7 p.m. local time on Friday. The Facebook page for another nearby girls camp, Heart o' the Hills, reported that it was not in session when the flooding took place.

Manatee rescued from fishing line entanglement by Florida Keys team during multi-day mission
A manatee is safely back in the water after one of its front flippers was severely entangled in a fishing line in the Florida Keys last week. On Saturday, the Dolphin Research Center (DRC) led a complex rescue of an injured manatee in close coordination with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and Dolphins Plus. According to the organization, Cooley's rescue took multiple days and required "many hours" of careful effort to safely free her. Dolphin Research Center The manatee, known as "Cooley," was found "suffering from a severe entanglement caused by fishing line wrapped tightly around her pectoral flipper," the DRC said. According to the organization, Cooley's rescue took multiple days and required "many hours" of careful effort to safely free her. Once disentangled, Cool was treated on-site by Dr. Scott Gearhart, the DRC's veterinarian. After a thorough evaluation and treatment at the rescue location, she was immediately released back into her natural habitat. According to the DRC, Cooley's rescue highlighted a "trouble, ongoing issue": She has been rescued multiple times in her life due to similar entanglement injuries. Additionally, her mother "Dually" — another manatee well-known by the DRC — has also been rescued over a dozen times over the years for the same hazard, the organization said. "This isn't just a one-time issue — it's an ongoing and serious threat to manatees in [Florida] waters," said Allie Proskovec, the public relations director for the DRC. "When the same animals are needing rescue again and again, it shows how urgent it is for all of us to take better care of our environment." According to the DRC, the organization is the only licensed manatee rescue team in the Florida Keys and plays "a critical role in responding to these emergencies and providing expert care for injured wildlife." "Fishing line entanglements remain one of the most common and preventable dangers faced by manatees," the organization said. "DRC urges anglers and the public to properly dispose of fishing line using designated recycling bins and to report injured wildlife immediately to the FWC." The DRC advises that if anyone spots a manatee that may be injured, entangled or in distress, to call the FWC Wildlife Alert Hotline at 1 (888) 404-FWCC (3922).
