*** About Sea Turtles: Sea turtles, ancient mariners of the ocean, are known for their long migrations, some covering thousands of miles, as they navigate between feeding grounds and the beaches where they nest. The illustration may represent species such as the loggerhead or the Kemp's ridley, both of which are frequently found in the waters off Florida. These creatures play crucial roles in marine ecosystems, helping to maintain healthy seagrass beds and coral reefs. Unfortunately, they face numerous threats, including plastic pollution, accidental capture in fishing gear, and climate change, which impacts their nesting sites and the sex ratio of hatchlings. Conservation efforts worldwide aim to protect nesting sites, reduce bycatch, and mitigate other threats to ensure that sea turtles continue to thrive for generations to come.
