Plight of Sea Turtles

                       Sea Turtles

Sea Turtles are wonderful creatures that live in the sea. They have swum for million of years and has been alive since dinosaurs were alive. Did you know? Turtles have seven species?  Kemps ridley, Flatback, green,olive ridley, Loggerhead, Hawksbill and the leather back.

The Leather back Eggs. are the biggest of all sea turtles. Sea turtles are one of most ancient creatures. Sea turtles eat creatures in the sea which are jellyfish, crabs, shrimps, sponges and mollusks (sea snails). Sea turtles are found all over the world in warm temperature places like Samoa, Fiji and Tonga, They migrate when waters are warm or cold and swim up to 1400 miles close to beaches they could lay their eggs.

Problems:

“Black Market” the illegal market, they kill 1,000 of turtles, sell them to dealers and use their shells to make ornaments and use it for decorations, isn't that bad for turtles?

People don’t know that turtles are nearly extinct. People should think if they keep on killing sea turtles they might have to say goodbye to sea turtles and might never ever see sea turtles again.

People are damaging turtle’s habitats and most times that is how turtles die.

Lastly, I recommend that people should leave turtles alone  peacefully in the ocean. We should keep our sea clean for all sea animals especially for the turtles.
