1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: That's too careful with that box. Sea turtles arriving from

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: the Capan Islands are rushed here to the Sea Turtle

3
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: Hospital of the New England Aquarium and Quinsy and even

4
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: though they look practically dead frozen in beyond help, hospital

5
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: director Adam Kennedy tells me looks can be deceiving.

6
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: As the bay approaches fifty degrees. That's kind of that

7
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 2: threshold where we see a lot of cold, stunning happen.

8
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: The truth is these sea turtles can bounce back from

9
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: having one heartbeat per five minutes. They're cold stone that's

10
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,159
Speaker 1: the turtle term for hypothermia, and they need to have

11
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: their body tempts slowly raised back up to the seventy

12
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: to eighty degree range.

13
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 2: They try to keep that blood in the core. They're

14
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: not really very active and they just kind of float

15
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: along at the top. We are now seeing over five

16
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 2: hundred turtles annually on average. When I first started a

17
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 2: little over twenty years ago, we were in the teams.

18
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: There's over two hundred turtles here right now. The goal

19
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: is to release them back into the wild, but that

20
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: can take months and even years. Of warming and quinsyj

21
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: will lead to BEBZ, Boston's news radio
