Our local sea turtle stranding tidalwave continues to pique the interest of folks around the country.

Here are a couple national news stories that you may have missed.
In these news stories, you'll find a lot of interesting information about the rescue efforts that take place down on Cape Cod, before the turtles even arrive at our facility. Beach walkers and triage by Mass Audubon is a critical step in the journey to recovery for these rescued sea turtles.

Some turtles have completed that journey and have returned to warm Florida waters. Safe travels, turtles!
