Strandings

A "stranded" turtle is any injured or dead sea turtle on the shore.

Healthy sea turtles can crawl ashore to nest (at night) and bask (night and day), but sometimes they crawl ashore if they're injured or sick.  Sometimes it's difficult to assess the differences between these events, so it's best to call the
NOAA Sea Turtle Stranding Network:
​1-888-256-9840
.

The statewide marine animal response hotline is

It is illegal to harm, harass, injure, pursue, or kill sea turtles and other protected species.
