VOICED : Vuelven al mar tortugas varadas por el invierno en Francia

The video discusses the release of 13 turtles back into the sea after receiving care at the La Rochelle Aquarium. Cold temperatures cause turtles to become stranded, as they cannot regulate their body temperature. This leads to vulnerability and potential threats. The video details the rescue and treatment process, including weighing, measuring, and genetic studies. Before release, turtles are acclimatized to ocean conditions. The annual release event, held since 2009, aims to raise ecological awareness among families.
