MELBORNE, Fla. — More than 300 sea turtle hatchlings have been brought to the Brevard Zoo’s Sea Turtle Healing Center after rough weather pushed them back to shore.
The hatchlings are currently resting and recovering at the center before they are released back into the sea.
Experts advise that if anyone finds a baby sea turtle, they should not put it back in the water but instead contact the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission or the Sea Turtle Preservation Society for assistance.
