January 2010 Cold-Stunning Event
The unusually long spell of cold weather in Florida in January 2010
has had a big impact on sea turtles. The FWC has been working with
staff from county, state, and federal agencies as well as numerous
volunteers on a mass rescue effort for sea turtles throughout the
state.
The FWC is involved in a massive statewide effort to rescue sea turtles affected by the recent cold weather in Florida.
