Naval Air Station (NAS) Corpus Christi environmental staff and an employee of the Texas Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network scan the tracking tag and assess the health of a stranded green sea turtle suffering from a phenomenon known as cold-stunning. Cold-stunning is a condition that occurs when sudden and severe drops in water temperature cause the reptiles to become lethargic and unable to swim, dive, or escape predators. Once rehabilitated, the turtles are released back into the ocean in areas with suitable water temperatures and habitats.
