More than 2,000 sea turtles from Mosquito Lagoon floated up this week because of the cold. As of Wednesday, about 300 had died.
If you’re caught with one of these shells, you are facing a third degree felony and up to five years in prison for a shell,” said a spokesman with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
Officers say at least four dead sea turtles have been stolen!
