Help for Sea Turtles from Texas Coast
As Texans endure the devastating conditions brought on by loss of power amid frigid temperatures, a mass casualty to the weather anomaly are sea turtles that live along the Texas coast. Thousands of “cold-stunned” sea turtles have been rescued from freezing waters since the onset of the storms, to be rehabilitated at wildlife centers and aquariums. Since sea turtles are cold-blooded and not able to regulate their body temperature, a weather event like this causes them to lose their ability to move, though they are awake. Today, SF Zoo & Gardens has pledged its support of this heroic sea turtle rescue and additional support of the Association of Zoo & Aquariums’ Employee Relief Fund, to aide those employees that work in zoos and aquariums affected by this terrifying winter storm. As one of AZA’s designated SAFE (Saving Animals from Extinction) species, you can help save sea turtles by donating here (https://sfzoo.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=05b8326f4402b997fe7a097e3&id=ad5c14e58f&e=7683a9aed3) .

We thank those who have gone above and beyond to help save this endangered species.
