It’s time for another First Friday Facebook Live.

This time Nick and Taylor head down to our Quincy facility to discuss the ongoing sea turtle rescue and rehabilitation effort.

We are in the midst of another sea turtle stranding season, which typically occur between early November and January. Learn what happens to the hypothermic sea turtles that strand on Cape Cod beaches after they are delivered to our Quincy Animal Care Center.

Conservation Context

The world’s seven species of sea turtles have roamed the oceans for hundreds of millions of years. But today, most of these species are endangered and all are threatened due to unprecedented threats from humans, including fishing bycatch, entanglement, boat strike, poaching, loss of nesting habitat, pollution, oil spills, and climate change.
