2A • February 17, 2017 • Seaside Signal • seasidesignal.com Loggerhead turtle dies after rescue By R.J. Marx Seaside Signal OREGON COAST AQUARIUM/FOR EO MEDIA GROUP Despite efforts of rehabilitators, this loggerhead turtle failed to survive after being brought for treatment. The best efforts of Seaside Aquarium and the Oregon Coast Aquarium staff were not enough to revive a cold- stunned loggerhead turtle res- cued late Saturday, Feb. 11, in Cannon Beach. The loggerhead was re- ported dead by the Oregon Coast Aquarium a day after arrival for treatment. Seaside’s Tiffany Boothe responded to a report of tur- tles washed ashore at Cres- cent Beach in Ecola State Park on Saturday. After walk- ing a mile and a half along the beach, she discovered the tur- tle near Chapman Point. Boothe and Seaside Aquar- ium staff member Molly Schmidt recovered the animal and assisted in transferring it to Newport Sunday morning. A threatened species, log- gerhead sea turtles are con- sidered a “rarer species” to strand on Oregon beaches, according to Jim Burke, the Oregon Coast Aquarium’s di- rector of animal husbandry. The Oregon Coast Aquari- um and Seattle Aquarium are the only rehabilitation facil- ities in the northwest United States authorized by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to provide the specialized care sea turtles require. Most stranded turtles in recent years have been olive ridley and green sea turtles, Burke said. Two olive ridleys, named Thunder and Lightning, were transported from the North Coast to SeaWorld in San Di- ego last winter. Thunder died, but Lightning continues reha- bilitation, SeaWorld officials said in January. Loggerheads are known for their large heads and heavy, strong jaws and can weigh up to 375 pounds. They are listed as a threatened species due to coastal development. The last loggerhead to ar- rive alive at the aquarium was on Christmas Eve 2007, and it also survived only one day, Burke said. During the winter, cold- shocked sea turtles can be- come stranded on beaches, Boothe said Sunday. Water temperatures in Newport are at least 20 degrees lower than those needed for survival. Reports of stranded tur- tles can begin as early as mid-October and can contin- ue through January, Boothe said. This was the third turtle to wash ashore this year, but the only one to be recovered alive. 8:24 p.m., Avenue G: Police respond to a report of a young couple fighting; the fe- male stating her wish to die.
