People check the heartbeats of sea turtles recovering at the Florida Keys-based Turtle Hospital in Marathon, Fla. The Turtle Hospital has treated 178 'cold-stunned' sea turtles from around Florida in January. A return to warmer, normal temperatures provided the opportunity for the release of 40 of the reptiles, but 138 are still convalescing at the facility recovering from the effects of chilly weather in the region.

A baby Loggerhead turtle is held by a member of the Broward County Sea Turtle Conservation Program in July 2009 in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Fla. The Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Fire Department helped the sea turtle program remove 50 of the babies who had fallen into a storm drain, attracted by the lights of a nearby parking structure. The Florida Atlantic Coast is in the height of the Sea Turtle hatching and nesting season. Only one in 1,000 of the nestlings make it to adulthood.
