Stranded by climate change, hundreds of endangered sea turtles released back into the ocean
DENNIS, Mass. — Given the occasion, much calmer waters would have been preferred for the dozens of people who gathered along the beach in West Dennis, Massachusetts. But regardless of the wind and near 4-foot ocean swells, the work went on to release a handful of endangered sea turtles that were successfully rehabilitated after almost freezing to death in the Atlantic Ocean last winter.
“I hope they’re gonna do what they need to do to survive,” she said while holding a plastic crate with a turtle inside. After being rescued by volunteers, the turtles spent about seven months at the New England Aquarium’s Sea Turtle Hospital in Quincy, Massachusetts. Over the course of the summer, hundreds will be released back into the ocean in strategic locations across the East Coast.
