Overview

• The six juvenile loggerhead turtles were swept from the Caribbean or US East Coast by strong winds and Atlantic currents.
• They were found in a weakened state along the shores of Cornwall, Devon, and Anglesey, suffering from cold-stunning.
• The turtles were rehabilitated by Newquay's Blue Reef Aquarium and Anglesey Sea Zoo before their release.
• HMS Medway transported the turtles to the Azores, where they were released back into the wild.
• Experts believe the turtles would have died if they had not been rescued and rehabilitated.
