Forty-five endangered Kemp’s ridley sea turtles made their trip from Cape Cod, MA to Mississippi today after becoming ill and stranded due to the annual cold-stun event that occurs between November and January each year. This year is particularly bad for turtles and is on track to have a record number of sea turtle strandings. This effort is made possible through a collaboration between The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network, Turtles Fly Too, Mississippi Aquarium, Institute for Marine Mammals Studies Inc. (IMMS), MS Department of Marine Resources (DMR) and US Fish and Wildlife Services (FWS). The transport contained 45 endangered Kemp’s ridley sea turtles, 25 of which will be going to Mississippi Aquarium and the remaining 20 will be brought to IMMS.
