On November 16, a stranded sea turtle was found on Shi Shi beach, with a dangerously low body temperature and in serious need of help. ????Working together with the Makah tribe, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and SR3, our expert Aquarium staff were able to stabilize the turtle (now called Shi Shi) and it will continue its rehabilitation at SR3. In this video, you’ll see the turtle swimming around on its own and taking a little breath above water! ????

The Seattle Aquarium is a permit-holding sea turtle stabilization facility in Washington state, authorized by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to provide veterinary treatment and rehabilitative care for five species of threatened or endangered species of sea turtles.

This historically wet fall in the Pacific Northwest has caused flooding, mudslides, power outages—and six sea turtle strandings on Washington and Oregon beaches. In an average year, we expect to see up to seven sea turtles between Halloween and Valentine’s Day. This year, NOAA's West Coast Marine Mammal Stranding Network has already seen six. Three of them were found dead. Two died while rescue teams in Oregon tried to save them. And now, number six, Shi Shi, is receiving emergency care at the Seattle Aquarium.

The Seattle Aquarium is committed to regenerating marine ecosystems and marine life. Changing ocean conditions will likely result in more sea turtle standings and we stand ready to help the next turtles that strand in Washington state.
