Polar Turtle Express Bound for Georgia
In Worcester the sea turtles that were stranded here last fall finally got flown down to Georgia. This past year hundreds of half frozen sea turtles washed up into the Cape Cod Bay. The lucky ones got rescued by volunteers while the others froze to death. The sea turtles linger to far north and get stuck in currents and face freezing to death. Polar has flown the turtles down to Georgia where they will recover.
I was first attracted to this article because I saw the word Cape Cod in it. I go down to the Cape A LOT so I thought it would be an interesting read. I thought it was strange that the sea turtles were being swept to the Cape especially at this time of the season. It made sense when they mentioned they were getting caught in the tides. It was also nice to hear that volunteers were saving as many as possible and helping to send them back to Georgia. That is where they belong not up in this cold area.
