Cold-Stunned in WA: The Turtle Crisis No One Talks About

Every winter, tiny tropical loggerhead turtles wash up along Western Australia’s beaches — cold, weak, and on the brink of death. In this video, I head to Peppermint Grove Beach to reveal the hidden crisis most people have never heard of: cold-stunning.

You’ll learn:
• Why baby loggerheads end up in freezing WA waters instead of warm tropical seas
• The shocking survival odds for these endangered creatures
• Exactly what to do if you find one stranded on the beach (and the BIG mistake that could kill them)
• How the Dolphin Discovery Centre rescues, rehabilitates, and returns them to the wild

Whether you’re a local, a beach walker, or a marine life lover, this is a must-watch. Knowing what to do could save a turtle’s life.
