It's the FWC's job to protect the safety and well-being of both the state's citizens and its vast resources. On the outskirts of the Everglades, Lt. Bingham demonstrates this first-hand when he puts himself and his team in danger to catch a group of people feeding alligators. Down on the shores of the Florida Keys, Officer Izsak races her 26-foot vessel to rescue a stranded couple from the ocean... and each other. Later, Officer Erik Steinmetz's routine boat patrol leads him to an unexpected emergency when he comes across a sick loggerhead sea turtle floating in the middle of the ocean. He races to shore through some of the most dangerous channels and shallows the Keys have to offer in order to get this endangered species some much-needed medical attention.
