GBIFID: 3044835175; Occurrence Remarks: I was at the very bottom of the Peninsula during my hike at Great Island, and I was just ready to turn back, as I was cold and wet. When I spotted this sea turtle, I initially thought it was dead and that it had washed up ashore. It was quite small; maybe a foot from head to tail. However, when I gently prodded it, it moved its flipper a little, and I realized it was still alive. I could tell it was in a bad state, so I looked up on my phone what to do about injured sea turtles in Cape Cod. I learned that it was cold stunned. I called the Audubon Society. Since I was so far down, they asked me to carry the turtle back up to the nearest road, which I did. The Audubon volunteer met me there and took the turtle off for rehabilitation.;; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 27723.00000.
