Collaboration, conservation leads to sea turtle rescue
A sea turtle rests in a bin prior to transportation at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida, Jan. 22, 2024. During the late fall and winter months, water temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico cool, causing some sea turtles to become weak or cold-stunned. Because these sea turtles are prone to health issues and animal attacks, the 325th Civil Engineer Squadron environmental management team collects them from the beach and transports them to Gulf World Marine Park in Panama City Beach, Florida, where they can stay warm until water temperatures rise to a safe level.
