Texas is setting the pace in sea turtle protection | Opinion

Texas State Aquarium

This wasn’t our first cold-stunning rodeo. During the famous winter storm of 2021, a much larger cold-stunning event made us aware that we needed to be ready for large-scale wildlife emergencies. That year, the aquarium admitted a record number of cold-stunned sea turtles,. The rescue center’s main pool had more than 1,000 rescued turtles recovering and getting back to an average body temperature. A few days later, 904 of those turtles were released back into the ocean.

This past summer the system was put into action for another historic response to a large loggerhead sea turtle stranding event. Between April and September of 2022, more than 400 loggerhead strandings were recorded in Texas, which is about three times as many as any previous year for this region.
