While most of our local species of reptiles and amphibians have burrowed away for the winter, a most unlikely phenomenon occurs along our beaches here on Cape Cod. Sea turtles, including the critically endangered Kemp's Ridley, begin to strand during coastal storms and ‘cold-stun' along our coastline. Learn more about why these turtles strand, what we can do to help, and actively participate in a turtle rescue adventure along the beautiful coastline of Cape Cod.

This course is one of several Cape Cod Field Schools offered. To learn more, visit www.massaudubon.org/wellfleetbay/fieldschools.
