***About Loggerhead Sea Turtle: Loggerhead Sea Turtles (Caretta caretta) are marine reptiles distinguished by their large heads and strong jaws, suited for crushing prey such as crabs and mollusks. These turtles are highly migratory, traversing thousands of miles of ocean to feed and eventually nest. Classified as vulnerable by the IUCN, these creatures face threats from habitat loss, accidental capture in fishing gear, and climate change, which affects the sex ratio of hatchlings. Conservation efforts include protecting nesting sites and minimizing bycatch through fishing gear modifications, which are vital for the survival of this ancient mariner, whose origins trace back to the era of the dinosaurs.
