How did the rare cold snap in Florida affect sea turtles and what was done to help them?

Eight green sea turtles were stunned by the cold temperatures during a rare snowfall in Florida. The frigid conditions compromised the turtles' ability to function normally, affecting their immune systems and mobility. After being rescued, the turtles received care at local sea turtle facilities. Following their rehabilitation, all eight turtles were successfully released back into the Atlantic Ocean. This rescue operation highlights the importance of marine conservation efforts, especially during unusual weather events that can severely impact cold-blooded marine reptiles like sea turtles.
