Sea turtles are marine reptiles of the families Dermochelyidae and Cheloniidae. They’re found in oceans worldwide, migrating vast distances. Like all turtles, they nest on land digging deep burrowing to bury their eggs. When these eggs hatch, the young sea turtles face a harrowing race into the ocean for safety. Many to make make it. Sea turtles threat multiple threats; from bycatch (being accidentally caught in fishing nets) pollution, habitat loss and climate change. Conservation efforts offer hope for their survival, as many organizations around the world are working to save them. They play vital roles in marine ecosystems, feeding on seagrass, jellyfish, and crustaceans.
