Sea turtles hit by cold temeratures


Freezing temperatures last week forced the rescue of more than one hundred cold-stunned sea turtles from the St. Joe Bay.
The turtles were taken for rehabilitation to Gulf World Marine Park in Panama City Beach.
The turtles will be treated for the effects of the cold temperatures before they  are tagged and then released.
This has not been an easy winter for sea turtles in Florida.
This is the fourth time that Gulf World has received cold stunned sea turtles since the second week of December.
