After seven months of rehabilitation at the New England Aquarium’s Sea Turtle Hospital, four endangered sea turtles are back in the ocean off the Massachusetts coast.
The sea turtles were treated for hypothermia-related conditions such as pneumonia, dehydration, and trauma. The turtles were unable to regulate their body temperatures off the Cape Cod coast due to the cold waters in the fall.
“Being able to care for these critically endangered turtles throughout the year and ensure they have a chance to return to the ocean is something we’re extremely proud of as a conservation organization. These four Kemp’s ridleys join the nearly 5,000 sea turtles our New England Aquarium team has helped rehabilitate and release over the past 25 years,” said Adam Kennedy, Director of Rescue and Rehabilitation at the Aquarium.
