BOSTON — The Coast Guard transported 193 endangered sea turtles from Cape Cod, Massachusetts to Orlando, Florida Tuesday.
Animal caregivers from Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary initially rescued the cold-stunned from along the Cape Cod and Buzzards Bay shoreline in recent weeks after they became trapped in the cold water along the cape while migrating south.
They were transported by a HC-144A Ocean Sentry aircrew from Air Station Cape Cod and transferred to several rehabilitation facilities before eventually being released back into the wild.PHOTOS (see "Gallery Images") and VIDEO by Petty Officer 3rd Class Ross Ruddell.
