According to the National Park Service, a cold-stunned sea turtle is one that has become hypothermic due to severe cold water or weather. If water temperatures drop below 50 degrees Fahrenheit a sea turtle can become lethargic and are unable to swim.

Sea Turtle Inc. states if a cold-stunned sea turtle is not rescued in time, they will drown due to not being able to lift their head to draw a breath.

The non-profit has not announced the exact date on when they are expected to release the 190 rescued sea turtles back into the Gulf of Mexico.
