Apollo Beach, Florida (WFLA) -Tenshin of dozens of sea turtles have been rescued from cold water and are now fighting to continue to live at the rehabilitation center of the sea turtle in Florida Aquarium in Apollo Beach.
It’s like a cold shelter in a sea turtle. The six green sea turtles were brought to the center on Thursday, and more 12 came from St. Ogastine on Friday night.

“These people are weak, have not moved, feel good. I’m sick. So they came to us,” said Ashley Rise, the director of the Florida Aquarium protection program. I said. “They were left behind for about 40 degrees, but this is not normal with sea turtles.”
Leasing said that they were expecting more because they were too cold for these turtles. Doctors have said that these number of patients is unprecedented this year, but they have accepted the challenge and loaded turtles in the lab. Unzing of them is the only start.
“All turtles we have at home have secondary concerns, whether pneumonia or bacterial infection,” said Reise.
Each turtle is cared for individually, and it may take several months to recover. Debborah Luke is a senior vice president in charge of the Florida Aquarium. She said the cost of care would be $ 15,000 per turtle.
“Everything that enters the $ 15,000 is very dangerous and the decrease in buckets of the indicators,” Luke said. “Therefore, it is necessary to protect these extinct Species species so that the ecosystem is in a healthy place that help humans prosper.
Currently, there are 29 turtles in the center. It is $ 435,000 to take care of them. Many facilities on the west coast have recovered from the aftermath of Hurricane Helen and Milton, so the center team must increase the number of lifesaving emergency efforts to save more turtles in the coming weeks.
