Rescuing Cold Stun Sea Turtles

This webinar will provide a brief overview of Mass Audubon’s Cold Stun Sea Turtle rescue program. Speaker Eamon Caffrey will include an introduction of what types of sea turtles can be found in the Gulf of Maine (i.e. around Cape Cod), information about why sea turtles cold stun during the winter, an overview of the rescue program and Audubon’s volunteer effort, and a summary of the 2024-2025 cold stun season statistics.

Eamon Caffrey is a Coordinator with Mass Audubon. He moved to Cape Cod after college to work seasonally with Diamondback Terrapins and Sea Turtles at Mass Audubon’s Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary in 2023. He returned last year as Diamondback Terrapin Project Coordinator during the summer and Cold Stun Sea Turtle Coordinator during the winter.
