Maine Woman Helping To Rescue Freezing Sea Turtles In Texas
One of the many sad stories we ve been hearing about the weather situation in Texas, is the plight of those freezing sea turtles.

A Maine woman is helping to rescue these creatures.
According to WCSH 6, Mainer Emma Pontius is on the staff of Sea Turtle Inc, an organization helping to rescue sea turtles near Texas South Padre Island.
