Sea Turtles | The Great Journeys

Nature Exploration: Sea turtle
Sea turtles are marine reptiles that have been swimming the oceans for over 100 million years. They are air-breathing reptiles that come to shore to lay their eggs. Sea turtles are found in all but the coldest oceans of the world. There are seven species of sea turtles, and they are all considered threatened or endangered.
Sea turtles are important to the marine ecosystem because they help to keep seagrass beds healthy and eat jellyfish, which can harm fish populations. Sea turtles are also a popular tourist attraction, and they generate millions of dollars in revenue for coastal communities.
However, sea turtles face a number of threats, including pollution, habitat loss, and entanglement in fishing gear. Climate change is also a major threat to sea turtles, as it is causing the beaches where they nest to erode and the oceans to become more acidic.
Conservation efforts are underway to help protect sea turtles. These efforts include protecting sea turtle nesting beaches, reducing pollution, and educating the public about the importance of sea turtles.
