This is really bad news.

In the last few days, hundreds of precious sea turtles have washed up on Southwest Florida

beaches.

They didn't wash up alive.

Now according to Turtle researcher Kelly Sloan, many of the washed up turtles are mature

adults.

And that is really bad because only one in a thousand turtles ever makes it to adulthood.

It takes longer had turtles 25 to 30 years to mature.

They're already a protected species, so this many washed up turtles could really hurt

the sustainability of turtle them.

But there is a small comfort for once this horrible disaster isn't man's fault.

Mother Nature is killing her own.

Scientists say the West Coast of Florida from Tampa to Key West is having the worst red-tied

bloom since 2006.

The culprit killing hundreds of adult sea turtles is algae.

We're here on the East Coast of Florida where I am.

Everything's cool.

All is safe.

So all of you smart adult turtles, and I know you're listening, save yourselves, swim

to the East Coast.

Why we might even leave the light on for you.
