A couple of Florida wildlife officers rescued 30 cold-stunned sea turtles amidst exceptionally low temperatures in the area. According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, officers went out on the icy water in Gulf County and rounded up 30 cold-stunned sea turtles whose lives were in danger due to the chilly weather.
“When water temps dip to 50 degrees or below, sea turtles can become weak and unable to swim, floating listlessly in the water or near shore,” authorities at the FWC warned. “Keep in mind that cold-stunned turtles can appear to be dead but often are still alive.”
The FWC said that parts of Florida received 6-8 inches of snow during the “historic weather event.” “Our officers, staff, and partners are still working diligently to search and rescue cold-stunned sea turtles across our northwest coastlines,” the post said.
