In case anyone else is interested: Kemp's Ridley turtles, the most endangered of all sea turtles, are washing up on Cape Cod beaches, possibly due to excessively low water temperatures that prevent the sea creatures from functioning......
Residents are combing beaches to collect the turtles and get them to the New England Aquarium in Boston, where the turtles are placed on soft foam for about 24 hours to warm them and help them become alert. The turtles then are put into water, where they are nursed back to health......Kemp's Ridley turtles are known to breed mostly in the Gulf of Mexico.
