Kasa mchanga wa kike wa Kemp, aliyepatikana amekwama kwenye ufuo wa Uholanzi, aliachiliwa tena ndani ya Ghuba ya Mexico karibu na Pwani ya Kitaifa ya Padre leo na SEA LIFE Aquarium Grapevine, SEA LIFE Aquarium Scheveningen, Hifadhi ya Uokoaji wa Wanyama, Huduma ya Hifadhi ya Kitaifa na Wafanyakazi wa Huduma ya Samaki na Wanyamapori wa Marekani. Kasa wa Kemp, anayeitwa Flip na waokoaji wake, ni mojawapo ya aina za kasa wa baharini walio hatarini kutoweka.

Flip imevaliwa na kifaa cha kusambaza satelaiti ili umma uweze kufuatilia nyendo zake mkondoni kwa www.seaturtle.org kwa kubonyeza "Fuatilia Kobe wa Bahari" na utafute jina la Flip

Flip alipatikana akiwa amejeruhiwa na kupigwa na butwaa na wapita njia kwenye ufuo wa Uholanzi, karibu na mji wa The Hague, mnamo Desemba 10, 2011, takriban maili 5,000 kutoka nyumbani kwake katika Ghuba ya Mexico. Alipelekwa SEA LIFE Aquarium Scheveningen ili kuanza mchakato mrefu wa ukarabati. Baada ya mwezi wake wa kwanza katika SEA LIFE na TLC nyingi na wafanyakazi, Flip alianza kulisha tena, na tangu Januari 2012, amekua kwa kasi, akiongezeka uzito na nguvu.

Flip alisafiri kwa ndege bila kusimama kutoka Amsterdam hadi Houston kwa KLM Royal Dutch Airlines na kufika Alhamisi, Novemba 1. Kisha akasafirishwa na timu ya SEA LIFE Aquarium Grapevine hadi Hifadhi ya Kurekebisha Wanyama ya Port Aransas, ambapo tathmini ya afya ilifanyika na Flip alichukuliwa kuwa mwenye afya njema kwa kuachiliwa kwake katika Ghuba ya Mexico.
