Join us for a beach walk with AMCS to scan the area for stranded/cold stunned sea turtles. This is the time of year where sea turtles should be migrating offshore to deeper waters or down south for the winter and sometimes they become exposed to our cold waters for too long and end up getting hypothermic or “cold stunned”. AMCS staff rely on public engagement and often receive reports of cold stunned or stranded animals in the marine environment. We don’t know what’s out there unless we are prepared to look for it!
We will meet in front of the pavilion at West Meadow Beach (left side after you enter the parking lot)
Volunteers did a mock turtle stranding exercise over the summer
