5 Million+ Hatchlings Saved!
Why Save Sea Turtles?
Turtles help control their prey. For example, leatherbacks help
manage the amount jellyfish in the ocean and hawksbills help
reefs by eating sponges that compete with them for space.
Turtle nesting helps beaches. The nutrients left behind by eggs
and hatchlings that don’t survive provide an important source
for coastal vegetation.
Hatchlings are an important source of food for many animals.
Birds, fish, mammals like raccoons, and others rely on plentiful
hatchlings to survive during nesting season.
They are important for coastal economies and native
communities. Many places rely on turtle watching or diving for
jobs and income and a number of indigenous communities
revere sea turtles as part of their cultures. Plus seeing a sea
turtle in the wild brings emotional and psychological benefits.
Green turtles grazing on seagrass is an important way to keep
seagrass beds healthy. And healthy seagrass benefits many
species and stores carbon.
Around the world, six out of seven species of sea turtles are either
threatened or endangered. Healthy oceans need sea turtles. Sea
turtles are a "keystone species," which means they are an
important part of their environment and influence other species
around them. If a keystone species is removed from a habitat, the
natural order can be disrupted, which impacts other wildlife and
fauna in different ways.
