The Baltimore aquarium rehabs some of turtles and releases them back into the ocean. I assume other facilities along the coast help out too!

Yes and when the turtles are ready to be released often their is a chain that occurs. If their are turtles that are ready to be released north of Baltimore then those states will usually drive the turtles to the next state that have some to be released and they take them to the next state that have some ready to go so multiple states don't all have to drive south to say Florida to release them (during the north's winter.)
