The Florida Aquarium returned five rehabilitated sea turtles to the ocean on Wednesday.
Gulfarium C.A.R.E. Center received 8 juvenile Kemps Ridley sea turtles in December 2022 from Massachusetts after a massive cold stun event struck the area.
Almost 1,000 cold-stunned sea turtles washed ashore at the end of December, the third largest stranding event on record.
Other turtles were flown last week to rehab facilities in South Carolina and Georgia. They will remain there until they are well enough to join the wild population.
