Deputies Rescue 75 Stranded Sea Turtle Hatchlings | Orlando News

In Volusia County, 75 baby sea turtles got lost heading inland instead of to the ocean—thanks to artificial lights confusing their natural moonlight navigation. Local deputies stepped in, rounded them up, and worked with county officials to safely return all 75 to the water. Scientists say only one in a thousand hatchlings survives to adulthood, making every small action—like turning off beach lights or clearing debris—crucial. This annual rescue is a reminder that protecting these tiny travelers is everyone’s responsibility. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
