“Below average temperatures could bring cold-stunned sea turtles to shore in the coming days. Hilton Head Island’s Sea Turtle Patrol asks those who wander Lowcountry beaches or venture out on boats to keep an eye out for the lethargic sea-faring reptiles.”

“The turtles may be floating on the ocean surface or be washed ashore, unable to move, said Amber Kuehn, director of the Sea Turtle Patrol on Hilton Head Island. If beachgoers find a sea turtle, they should leave it be and immediately call the S.C. Department of Natural Resources hotline at 800-922-5431.”
