"The Gulf of Maine is believed to be one of the fastest-warming regions in the ocean. This warming impacts the turtles' ability to escape to warmer waters during colder months." - Adam Kennedy discussing the effects of climate change.
"With water temperatures dropping to 30 degrees Fahrenheit colder than what they're used to, the turtles become debilitated, leading to mass strandings on Cape Cod beaches." - Report on cold-stunned turtle incidents.
