Description
Every year, cold-stunned sea turtles strand on North Carolina beaches. Rehabilitation centers, including the North Carolina Aquariums, assist the rescue effort by providing care and returning these animals to good health. These turtles are then released offshore into the warm waters of the Gulf Stream. This project aims to understand where young green turtles go and how they fare in this environment after recovering from cold stunning. This project is supported by the Triad Foundation.
