INTRODUCTION

Welcome friends this is your host Tracy Shoolman with today’s episode of the Gaia Translate podcast Last November I was drawn to channel the Great Spirit of the Sea Turtle after following to an amazing report about  the Texas cold stun of 2021 and how it was the largest sea turtle rescue in history. According to the report “Sea turtles are cold-blooded creatures that depend on water temperature to regulate their body temperature. When the water falls below 50 degrees, they become catatonic, they can't swim, and eventually float on the surface. In turtle talk, this is a cold-stunning event.”  Thankfully hundreds of local volunteers were able to rescue over 5,000 turtles and get them to shore where they could be warmed up and safely returned to the ocean as temperatures rose sufficiently .
