Marx Cannon Beach Gazette OREGON COAST AQUARIUM/EO MEDIA GROUP Despite efforts of rehabilitators, this loggerhead turtle failed to survive after being brought for treatment. The best efforts of Seaside Aquar- ium and the Oregon Coast Aquarium staff were not enough to revive a cold- stunned loggerhead turtle rescued late Saturday, Feb. 11, in Cannon Beach. The loggerhead was reported dead by the Oregon Coast Aquarium a day af- ter arrival for treatment. Seaside’s Tiffany Boothe respond- ed to a report of turtles washed ashore at Crescent Beach in Ecola State Park on Saturday. After walking a mile and a half along the beach, she discovered the turtle near Chapman Point. Boothe and Seaside Aquarium staff member Molly Schmidt recov- ered the animal and assisted in trans- ferring it to Newport Sunday morn- ing. A threatened species, loggerhead sea turtles are considered a “rarer species” to strand on Oregon beaches, according to Jim Burke, the Oregon Coast Aquarium’s Director of Ani- mal Husbandry. The Oregon Coast Aquarium and Seattle Aquarium are the only rehabilitation facilities 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 Diego last winter. Thunder died, but Lightning continues rehabilitation, 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 arrive 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 become stranded on beaches, Boothe said Sunday. Water temperatures in Newport are at least 20 degrees lower than those needed for survival. Reports of stranded turtles can be- gin as early as mid-October and can continue through January, Boothe said. This was the third turtle to wash ashore this year, but the only one to be recovered alive.
