Sea Turtles

It's sea turtle nesting season. Don't forget to turn out your lights at night on the beach and stay away from mother sea turtles when they are nesting.

Eight green sea turtles stunned by the cold during a rare snowfall in North Florida have been released after being treated at Loggerhead Marinelife Center.

"With some cold weather a few weeks ago up in the Panhandle, they got over 1,000 turtles that stranded within just a few days," said the aquarium's Kelly McNally.

"Waves of green sea turtles" were being rescued after experiencing symptoms similar to frostbite from last week's winter storm.
