Sea turtles are incredible ambassadors of marine conservation. As seen along coastlines in the Southern US, the efforts to protect green and loggerhead sea turtles by monitoring beaches have shown significant positive impact on those local populations — but there’s still a long road ahead to restore sea turtles worldwide.
Whether becoming a citizen scientist, or simply a vocal ally for sea turtle protection, there are easy opportunities for anyone to get involved in saving some of our favorite ocean-bound creatures.
