Marine Conservation

Marine Life

Marine Turtles have been swimming in the oceans for at least 110 million years, but now our activities threaten turtle populations all over the globe. There are seven species of Marine Turtles. The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources lists the Green Sea Turtle, Loggerhead and Olive Ridley turtles as endangered, and the Australian Flatback, Hawksbill, Kemp's Ridley and Leatherback turtles as critically endangered. Urgent conservation action is needed to prevent the extinction of Marine Turtle populations around the world. A more detailed look at Marine Turtles can be found here.
