Protect Sea Turtles

Save and Protect Sea Turtles!

I think it is very important that our sea turtles are safe because they’re becoming extinct and should be protected by the country. To support my point of views I’m going to share some interesting facts about human interferences and easy things we can do to help the sea turtles survival.

Did you know that sea turtles have outlasted the dinosaurs? So here are some more interesting facts about where and what sea turtles do during their life. Sea turtles grow to the size of a dinner plate and the leather back turtle grows to the size of a dining room table. But each year thousands of sea turtles die getting caught in fishing nets and drowning.

Human interferences have been messing with our precious sea turtles, which is very sad. People are destroying their nesting sites and using their poor little bodies for illegal black markets, their meat is eaten by special people on special occasions and their shells are used to carve combs, jewellery, spears, fishhooks and tools.

Here are some easy solutions we can do to help the sea turtles survival. We can stop our sea turtles dying by picking up rubbish and also keeping up to date the latest news because you’ll know what’s happening to them. Another solution we can do is to keep away from where they nest and feed because we’ll destroy their environment and wreck their life cycle. We can also help people by putting signs up that say, help increase turtle numbers!.

In conclusion I believe that sea turtles should be protected because they’re becoming extinct and should be looked after. So will you stop killing our beautiful reptiles, or will you be one of the caring humans that help look after them.
