Baby sea turtles found burned on Florida beach

A Florida woman was out for a walk with her husband on Hightower Beach in Satellite Beach Sunday when she made a harrowing discovery.

Rhonda Wundke tweeted that she found one baby sea turtle on the sand burned to death and more as she kept walking.

“I’m saddened and very angry!” she wrote.

Wundke discovered the turtles as a powerful Hurricane Dorian was closing in on Florida’s east coast earlier this week.

She tweeted that she contacted the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, wanting the person responsible to be held accountable. The FWC is now investigating the incident.

“It was a nightmare in person to see,” Wundke tweeted later. "The storm surges I’m sure have placed these babies into the ocean to rest.”

Sea turtles usually nest from May to October, according to FWC. They are protected by the Federal Endangered Species Act of 1973 and the state’s Marine Turtle Protection Act.
