***About Loggerhead Sea Turtles: Loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) are one of the ocean’s most well-known marine reptiles, named after their disproportionately large heads. These powerful creatures are omnivorous, feeding mainly on jellyfish, conchs, crabs, and fish. They are known for their lengthy migrations between feeding and breeding sites, some voyaging thousands of miles. Listed as vulnerable, loggerhead turtles face threats from habitat loss, accidental capture in fishing gear, pollution, and climate change. Their nesting sites, particularly on Florida's coasts, are critical to their survival, making conservation efforts in these areas vital. The presence of loggerhead turtles serves as an indicator of the health of marine ecosystems, highlighting the interconnectedness of our environmental stewardship efforts.
