PANAMA CITY BEACH A local nonprofit is helping rehabilitate more endangered, cold-stunned sea turtles from New England than almost anywhere else.
As of Tuesday, Gulf World Marine Institute was nursing 63 Kemp s ridley sea turtles that were cold stunned a condition similar to hypothermia while swimming in the frigid water of the Atlantic Ocean.
Lauren Albrittain, stranding coordinator for the institute, said it feels awesome for her group to have the responsibility of helping preserve a natural habitat one she described as being a top contender in the food chain. As the rarest species of sea turtles, Kemp s ridleys are native to the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic.
