ORA Team Rescues Sea Turtles from Frosty Waters
Posted on Thursday, January 6th, 2011 at 4:53 pm by ShawnpaulWith the recent cold spells sweeping through Florida a lot more than produce crops have suffered. The climate changes have left the once moderately warm coastal waters dangerously chilled. The Ocean Reefs and Aquariums Team opened up their facilities to house sea turtles. In addition to rescuing and caring for the stunned creatures, they tagged and collected data prior to releasing them back into the wild. It is amazing to see a leader in the industry stepping up to the plate. Thanks a ton ORA for your conservation efforts.
The ORA Team has been keeping us up-to-date on their turtle rescue mission via Facebook and Flickr. For more information be sure to check them out.
