***About Sea Turtles

***: Sea turtles, ancient mariners of the oceans, have swum the Earth's waters for about 110 million years. These reptiles spend the majority of their lives in saltwater, with females briefly coming ashore to lay eggs. Various species range vastly in size from the small Kemp's Ridley to the massive leatherback. Among the key challenges they face are habitat loss, pollution, and climate change, which affect their nesting sites and hatchling survival rates. Efforts to conserve sea turtles involve global protection agreements, controlled beach lighting, and hatcheries aiming to increase their survival rates.
