Cold Stunned Sea Turtle Lecture
6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
The New York Marine Rescue Center will be presenting a lecture on cold stun sea turtles. Cold stunning is a condition similar to hypothermia that is brought on when these cold-blooded sea turtles are in water temperatures below 50°F. Since cold stunning is a condition that slows the movements of afflicted sea turtles, it causes the animals to get washed ashore on New York beaches. This condition left unnoticed, can become fatal. This is why the New York Marine Rescue Center (NYMRC) needs your help! The sooner these animals are found and reported to the NYMRC, the higher their chance of survival!

Several of these animals are considered to bethreatened, endangered, and even critically endangered species. Join the NewYork Marine Rescue Center (NYMRC) to learn more about these animals. Duringthis lecture we will discuss what has caused these animals to be placed on theendangered species list, why they are important to the marine ecosystem, andwhat you can do to help protect them.
