Over the past two weeks, more than 50 sea turtles have gotten a new lease on life in our state parks. Rehabilitated cold-stunned turtles from the National Marine Life Center in Massachusetts, the National Aquarium in Maryland and the New England Aquarium in Boston were sent back to sea on the sunny shores of both Little Talbot Island State Park and Amelia Island State Park. The majority of these turtles were Kemp’s ridleys, the most endangered sea turtle species. The last release on Earth Day, April 22, drew about 100 people to watch and celebrate.
