A Record 5,000 Sea Turtles Cold-Stunned in Florida
|
21.1.2010 |
Greenlight | OnEarth Magazine, from NRDC |
| Frigid waters in Florida during the first two weeks in January shocked a record number of sea turtles into a coma-like state that would have killed nearly all of them -- had state and federal wildlife workers not come to the rescue.

While the cold-stun event itself was a natural occurrence, the potential impact on sea turtles -- all species are threatened or endangered -- has more to do with human activity.
