Scientists solve the mystery of #SeaTurtles' lost years phys.org/news/2025-02-scientis Paper by Katrina Phillips et al.: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi

"Scientists long thought that tiny #turtles drifted passively with ocean currents, literally going with the flow... the turtles are actually swimming... This tiny little hatchling is actually making its own decisions about where it wants to go in the #ocean and what it wants to avoid"

Sea #turtle nests in #Greece reach record numbers
theguardian.com/environment/20

"The message #SeaTurtles are sending is very clear... And that is the measures we have taken over the past 25 years to ensure conditions are right for the marine #turtles to nest here are working … It’s fantastic... This year more than 1,200 nests have been recorded in #Sekania, which is one every 50cm of beach. An amazing number."

#Peru approves the creation of long-awaited marine protected area news.mongabay.com/2024/05/peru

"the Grau Tropical Sea National Reserve covers just over 115,675 hectares of sea off the departments of Piura and Tumbes in northern Peru. Although small, it is significant due to the rich #biodiversity found there... #HumpbackWhales come here to give birth, and #MantaRays, various #shark species —including the critically endangered hammerhead #sharks — and all species of #SeaTurtles can be found here."

Speak up for WHALE-SAFE FISHING GEAR

We've just begun to understand the lives of awe-inspiring ocean dwellers like massive #BlueWhales, singing #humpbacks and ancient leatherback #SeaTurtles. Sadly hundreds of thousands of these creatures suffer or die every year from #entanglement in #FishingGear.

According to NOAA Fisheries, 446 large whales got tangled in commercial fishing gear between 2017 and 2022 — and that's likely just a fraction of the actual number of entanglements.

Where the #leatherbacks roam: movement behavior analyses reveal novel foraging locations along the Northwest Atlantic shelf frontiersin.org/articles/10.33

"Leatherback #SeaTurtles, the largest of all living turtles, undertake extensive migrations that can span multiple years. They travel from subtropical and tropical nesting locations to temperate foraging areas."

We've already lost too much wildlife in the United States, and officials warn that another 1,500 #species -- from #wolves and #panthers to #bumblebees and #SeaTurtles -- are at risk of disappearing forever.

It doesn't have to be this way. After all, by banning #pesticides like #DDT and protecting habitat, America brought the #BaldEagle, the #CaliforniaCondor, and many other species back from the brink of extinction.
