I actually worked briefly at that facility years ago during my veterinary training treating cold stunned sea turtles. I remember having to wait days to declare them dead since the cold slows EVERYTHING down including pulse and breathing that turtles that looked dead would slowly spring to life within 24 hours. Good times
