TIRN Comes to the Aid of Cold Stunned Sea Turtles
Friend, This past week on the Texas coast, water temperatures dipped below 50 degrees and affected over 2,000 endangered sea turtles. Sea turtles that are „cold stunned“ may try and reach the surface to be warmed by the sun but our air temperature was below freezing. Cold stunned turtles become very lethargic and are more susceptible to boat strikes, predators and even death from exposure. This has become the largest cold stunning event ever recorded on the Texas coast, and we’re expecting another cold front this weekend. Please donate to help our dedicated staff, volunteers, and me rescue these vulnerable sea turtles.Read More →
