NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher cares for cold-stunned sea turtles

FORT FISHER, NC (WWAY) — The North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher is caring for several critically endangered sea turtles that were cold-stunned off the coast of Massachusetts.

After being rescued and given essential care by the New England Aquarium, five Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles were transferred to Fort Fisher.

The NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher team will give the turtles a special diet and monitor them closely until they are healthy enough to return to the ocean.
