Save The Turtles

Marine turtles are caught worldwide, despite it being illegal to hunt most of the species in many countries. Every living species of the sea turtle is endangered. Long- line fishing has been blamed for some of the accidental sea-turtle deaths. Another danger comes from marine debris especially from abandoned fishing nets in which they can become entangled.Beach development is another area which poses threats to sea turtles. Since sea turtles return to the same beach locations to nest, if these areas are developed they may be left with nowhere to nest, or their nesting locations may be threatened by human activity.
