Cold Stunned Turtle
Wednesday, September 29, 7:00 PM
Have you ever wondered if there were sea turtles in New York waters? Cold stunning is a condition similar to hypothermia that is brought on when these cold-blooded sea turtles are exposed to temperatures below 50°F (10°C). Since cold stunning slows the movements of afflicted sea turtles, it causes the animals to get pushed ashore on New York beaches. This condition left unnoticed, can become fatal.
This is why the New York Marine Rescue Center (NYMRC) needs your help! Attend this lecture and training to become part of our Cold Stun Sea Turtle Emergency Response Team and help rescue these endangered animals. Include your email when registering to receive the program Zoom link.
