Martin County Fire Rescue and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission rescued a 200-pound sea turtle stuck on House of Refuge Beach in Martin County Wednesday morning.

Stranding response teams and volunteers are caring for more turtle nests and teaching the public how to handle them.
