Betty the 'cold-stunned' turtle set for Azores release
A rare loggerhead turtle named Betty is preparing to be released into the sea in the Azores after seven months of rehabilitation. She was found cold-stunned on a Suffolk beach in February and treated at Hunstanton Sea Life Centre alongside another turtle named Olive. The pair will travel to Portugal in late September to be monitored before their final release.
- ▪Betty was discovered cold-stunned on Dunwich beach in Suffolk in February and transferred to Hunstanton Sea Life Centre for care.
- ▪Both Betty and Olive, another loggerhead turtle found in Scotland, are scheduled to leave Norfolk on September 28 for the Azores.
- ▪The turtles will be monitored for up to two weeks in the Azores before being released back into the sea.
- ▪Cold-stunning occurs when rapid temperature drops cause lethargy and decreased circulation in turtles, a condition that can be fatal.
- ▪Rising sea temperatures are causing loggerhead turtles to travel further north than usual, increasing the frequency of cold-stunning incidents.
