Help Protect Sea Turtles
According to Discover Magazine, "sea turtles can be found worldwide and play distinct roles in their environment. Sea turtles can live long lives and migrate great distances. They’ve even outlived the dinosaurs. Unfortunately, all seven sea turtle species are threatened or endangered. Between predation and human activity, sea turtles often find themselves in distressing situations. Sea turtles are in danger and there are many ways that we can help them, even from afar."
Turn Off Lights
If you live in a beach-front residence, turn off unnecessary lights and turn your lights off at night. Simple things like closing your blinds, turning off your lights, or using sea turtle-friendly lighting encourages nesting and helps hatchlings go in the right direction rather than become disoriented.
Recycle
Plastic that ends up in the ocean gets eaten up by turtles because they believe the plastic is jellyfish. Over 100 million marine animals are killed each year due to plastic debris. So buying and using products that decrease the use of plastic helps tremendously.
Clean Up Beaches
Clean beaches help ensure that turtles have a clean and safe nesting ground. Remove waste, debris, and trash from beaches that might hinder a turtle’s nesting. Knock down and flatten sand castles and fill in holes so that the ground is flat and hatchlings can make their way safely to the ocean.
