Endangered Sea Turtles Flown to Florida for Rehabilitation

Over 50 young Kemp's ridley turtles, suffering from cold stun, dehydration, and injuries, are receiving treatment at various facilities.

Over 50 cold-stunned Kemp's ridley sea turtles were flown from Massachusetts to Florida for rehabilitation.
The sea turtles, which are between 1 and 3 years old, were suffering from dehydration, pneumonia, and injuries like fractured shells.
The turtles were taken to four different facilities in Florida, where they will continue their rehabilitation before being released back into the wild.
Sea turtles can become cold-stunned when water temperatures drop below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, causing them to become weak and inactive.
Florida has seen a record number of sea turtle nests this year, with over 133,840 loggerhead turtle nests and at least 76,500 green turtle nests.
