The recovery of critically endangered sea turtles on Cape Cod, spurred by plunging temperatures and fierce gale force winds, made national headlines this morning, November 26th,\u00c2\u00a0in USA Today.\u00c2\u00a0 The story, with Sue Wieber Nourse’s picture above of a tiny live Kemp’s ridley from Linnell Landing in Brewster, appeared on Page Three of the national print edition and in the USA Today on-line newspaper.\u00c2\u00a0 The article was researched and written by Emily Bazar<\/a> and the photo was selected by Robin Smith.\u00c2\u00a0 The story was titled “Endangered sea turtles killed by cold snap<\/a>” and can be read by clicking on the title or on the photograph above.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0We would have preferred, of course, “Endangered sea turtles rescued during cold snap,” but we don’t get to write the headlines.\u00c2\u00a0 We do get to thank and congratulate Ms. Bazar and Ms. Smith for helping us raise awareness … which in turn saves lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bartons became regional celebrities as they appeared on the front page of the Cape Cod Times on Tuesday, November 25th.\u00c2\u00a0 The story by Cape Cod Times reporter Patrick Cassidy<\/a> and photographer Merrily Lunsford<\/a> highlighted the Bartons\u00c2\u00a0in telling\u00c2\u00a0the tale of cold-stunned sea turtle strandings in their report, “Dozens of cold-stunned turtles wash up<\/a>.”\u00c2\u00a0 It can be read by clicking on the title or on the photograph above.\u00c2\u00a0 Again, their great writing and compelling pictures will increase awareness in the region and if past is prologue, the article will lead to more endangered sea turtles being saved.\u00c2\u00a0 Thanks to Mr. Cassidy and Ms. Lunsford, and of course to Russell and Kerry.<\/span><\/p>\n
