AP – Sea Turtles Stranded by Cold Temperatures Along Cape Cod Beaches
The map illustrates the Cape Cod area in Massachusetts, focusing on the stranding locations of sea turtles stunned by cold water. It shows Cape Cod’s unique hooked shape and highlights key towns, including Bourne, Sandwich, Barnstable, Dennis, Yarmouth, Wellfleet, Eastham, Orleans, and Brewster. The map also marks nearby areas like Oak Bluffs, Edgartown, and Nantucket. Arrows indicate turtle migration patterns, showing how turtles feeding in the Gulf of Maine during summer and early fall can get trapped in Cape Cod Bay as water temperatures drop. The map includes a scale (5 mi/10 km) and credits sources such as Mass Audubon and NOAA.
