Rehabilitated green sea turtles released into Gulf waters
About 96 green sea turtles nearly killed by a January cold snap were rehabilitated and released back into Laguna Madre near South Padre Island. Volunteers rescued comatose turtles, with 130 initially stranded and seven dead. Some remaining turtles will be returned this summer with satellite trackers to study migration.
