Nineteen sea turtles that rehabbed in Missouri after suffering the effects of cold water temperatures in New England are now back in the Atlantic Ocean off of Jacksonville, Florida. The turtles ventured into the water Wednesday afternoon. Their long journey was made possible by the Johnny Morris Sea Turtle Center in Springfield, Missouri, and the non-profit group Turtles Fly Too. Twenty loggerhead and Kemp’s ridley turtles arrived at the Wonders of Wildlife National Museum & Aquarium in December from Boston’s New England Aquarium. One critically ill turtle died, but the other were given round-the-clock treatment for cold-stunning, which occurs when water temperatures drop quickly.
