SUMMARY: Nearly 80 cold-stunned sea turtles from a Massachusetts aquarium have been relocated to three rehabilitation sites, with 40 arriving at the Mississippi Aquarium Aquatics Research Center. Many turtles suffer from pneumonia, shell fractures, and bone injuries. They received fluids, antibiotics, and vitamins to aid their recovery. Some had critically low heart rates of 2 to 10 beats per minute upon arrival. The facility uses a controlled heating system to create optimal recovery conditions. Each turtle is humorously named after a Taylor Swift song, with expectations that those facing pneumonia will recover in 2 to 3 months.

These turtles might be a little late for The Eras tour, but they are still swimming in style.

SUMMARY: The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies is rehabilitating 23 endangered Kim Ridley sea turtles that suffered from cold stunning after being trapped in frigid waters in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Mississippi State University veterinary students are assisting in the recovery process by conducting initial examinations, blood work, and monitoring the turtles’ health. Cold-stunned turtles often experience pneumonia and frostbite, requiring personalized treatment plans, including fluids and antibiotics. The students gain invaluable experience that will aid their future careers while fostering a commitment to environmental conservation. Once rehabilitated, the turtles will be released back into Mississippi Sound.

A group of Mississippi State University veterinarians were in Gulfport on a mission to save the sea turtle habitat.
