Turtle Troubles

A group of  turtles have been evacuated from the cold Cape Cod Bay waters.  Because of the unusually warm temperatures last month the turtles did not exit the waters and became trapped once the temperature dropped rapidly, the turtles then suffered hypothermia and had to be rescued from the Bay. The New England Aquarium stated that this year has been a record for the number of endangered turtles rescued. This has become a reoccurring problem and special rescue teams have been set up specifically during this time to help the turtles and then return them to the Bay when the waters warm once again.
