A Green sea turtle swims in its holding tank at the Sea Turtle Hospital in the New England Aquarium’s Animal Care Center in Quincy, Massachusetts, on July 10, 2024. In 2023, the aquarium treated 394 sea turtles, washed ashore in Cape Cod Bay after becoming trapped in the cold water and becoming cold-stunned. The aquarium can house about 60-70 turtles and sends the overflow to other facilities. Loggerhead, Green and Kemp’s ridley sea turtles are all listed as an endangered species. Kemp’s ridley is the most endangered. (Photo by Joseph Prezioso/AFP Photo)
