The reptiles, an endangered species, were incapacitated when the water temperature plummeted after a rare winter storm hit the Panhandle last week.

On Florida’s east coast, offshore Nassau and Volusia counties, an ongoing cold-stunning event has harmed about 120 green sea turtles so far. While that’s far fewer than the hundreds rescued off the Panhandle, it’s the most stressed turtles the state has documented in Northeast Florida, according to the wildlife agency.

Turtle rescues from Cape Cod are a regular event. The Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary searches for turtles that get stuck in the cold temperatures.
