Robert DiGiovanni Jr., the director of the Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research and Preservation, says the "cold-stun" turtles have a condition similar to hypothermia in humans.
Volunteers transported the turtles from The New England Aquarium in Boston to a marine hospital in Riverhead.
Two turtles, nicknamed Jupiter and Junior, arrived Tuesday to join Herb, a loggerhead who arrived from Boston on Dec. 13.
The sea turtles will eventually be released in New England or Long Island.
