The hook shape of the Cape Cod Bay traps the cold-stunned turtles which are then washed up on the beaches, according to the aquarium. <\/p>\n
The volunteers rescued stranded species such as the critically endangered Kemp’s ridley sea turtle, leatherback turtles, green turtles, and loggerhead turtles.<\/p>\n
The Deep said survival rates for the rescued turtles were about 80-90% and that more than 470 of the creatures had been treated at the rescue centre. <\/p>\n
Levine said: “I always love working with their incredible team and helping save turtles. I’m always amazed that the turtles are able to survive.”<\/p>\n
Clarke said there had been a collective passion among staff.<\/p>\n
He added: “It’s amazing to see the network of organisations that work together and share a common goal, to get all these turtles healthy and released.”<\/p>\n
