“The happiness of the bee and the dolphin is to exist. For man it is to know that and to wonder at it.” Jacques Cousteau
Marine turtles have lived in the oceans for over 100 million years. They are an important part of many coastal regions. They migrate long distances between their feeding grounds and nesting sites.
Marine turtles are experiencing serious threats to their survival. The main threats are pollution and changes to important turtle habitats, especially coral reefs, seagrass beds, mangrove forests and nesting beaches. This is due to human contact.
