The Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center

How you can help: please be vigilant for any turtle you see floating in the water, stranded on beaches or in the marshes. The turtle may appear to be dead (and very cold) but there is a chance that it’s cold-stunned and can be successfully rehabilitated with immediate and proper care. If possible pick up the turtle and place it in a sheltered area. Do not try to warm the turtle. Call the Wildlife Resources Emergency number: 252-241-7367 (24/7). They will make arrangements to have the turtle picked up. If you are unable to get through to them you may call Jean at: 910-470-2800, or the turtle hospital at: 910-328-3377. . . . → Read More: Stunning news
