Today is #WorldSeaTurtleDay!

Modern sea turtles have been around for over 80 million years. They have lived since the time of the dinosaurs. They have lived all that time & only now are they threatened. The biggest threat to them is humans. Now, only 1 in 1000 hatchlings makes it to adulthood.

Happy World Sea Turtles Day!

To celebrate, I'm watching two episodes of Kratts Creatures where the brothers watch a big gathering of Sea Turtles laying eggs and seeing predators.

Thank you to Captain Ghanem for freeing this sea turtle from entanglement in a ghost net. This turtle could’ve easily been another silent loss from the destructive fishing industry. 🐢

Thousands of sea turtles coming ashore to nest all at once? That’s called arribada. Kemp’s ridleys — including those found in Canada — and their relatives, olive ridleys, are known for this rare nesting phenomenon.

Celebrate #WorldSeaTurtleDay by taking action to protect them! Here on Georgia's coast, Glynn County isn't doing its part to protect the threatened loggerhead sea turtles that nest and hatch on our beaches.

Encourage them to take two SIMPLE steps toward protected dark beaches 👇
