Between predation and human activity, sea turtles often find themselves in distressing situations. Here are why sea turtles are in danger and how you can help them, even from afar.🌊 🐢
When it comes to predators for sea turtles, adult turtles only have to watch out for certain sharks — like the tiger shark. Most sea turtle predators go afterOnce hatched, baby sea turtles must make the mad dash from their nest to the water. Along the way, predators such as seagulls, crabs and raccoons will snatch them off the beach. However, even in the water, hatchlings have to be quick. Fish and crabs can be waiting for the hatchlings to enter the waves.
NOAA and its partners are working diligently to prevent harm and help ensure a brighter future for all sea turtles so that they can perhaps continue living for millions of years more.
