Firefighters rescue a dozen baby sea turtles that got stuck in a condo's storm drain
Reported byGoodGoodGood ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Firefighters from Bonita Springs Fire District and volunteers from Turtle Time Inc. rescued 14 sea turtle hatchlings trapped in storm drains near Mediterra Beach Club on Bonita Beach, Florida, and successfully returned all of them to the Gulf.
Sea turtle hatchlings are still at high risk in the ocean; artificial light sources from coastal development remain a persistent threat to nesting and hatchling navigation.
