Thousands of sea turtles, chilled into catatonic states, floated helplessly throughout shore waters, inland waterways and shallow brackish waters from the Panhandle all the way down to the Keys last month, according to the article “Sea Turtles Saved from Florida Frost” in The New York Times.
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” said David Godfrey, executive director of the Caribbean Conservation Corporation, a Gainesville-based organization that assisted with the rescue effort. “Every three years or so we usually get about 100 of what we call ‘cold-stunned’ turtles. What we had this year was unprecedented.”
