SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, Texas (ValleyCentral) — Sea Turtle Inc. helped 190 sea turtles affected by the recent cold stun. The organization announced that with improving weather conditions and the affected sea turtle’s health, they hope for a quick recovery and potential release.

According to the National Park Service, a cold-stunned sea turtle is one that has become hypothermic due to severe cold water or weather. If water temperatures drop below 50 degrees Fahrenheit a sea turtle can become lethargic and are unable to swim.
