Help Save the
Turtles

It has been estimated that over one million sea turtles are killed each year by ingesting plastic and other forms of debris. This accounts for around 10% of the entire population of sea turtles.
What can you do to help protect sea turtle?
Reduce marine garbage that might get caught or be eaten by sea turtles. Participate in coastal cleanups and decrease your usage of plastic to help keep our beaches and oceans clean. Trash in the ocean can endanger sea turtles and other animals that dwell there. Bring reusable water bottles and shopping bags. Avoid releasing balloons; they will most certainly wind up in the ocean, where sea turtles may mistake them for prey and swallow them. Keep nesting beaches dark and safe for sea turtles. Turn off, shield, or redirect the lights that are visible.
