Description

Have you ever wondered if there were sea turtles in New York waters? Would you know what to do if you saw one on the beach? Join The Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research and Preservation for a lecture on how you can help us save these animals. Cold stunning is a condition similar to hypothermia that is brought on when cold-blooded animals, in this case sea turtles, are exposed to cold temperatures of 50oF or below. This condition, if left unnoticed, can become fatal.
