Reduce marine debris that may entangle or be accidentally eaten by sea turtles. Participate in coastal clean ups and reduce plastic use to keep our beaches and ocean clean. Trash in the ocean can harm sea turtles and other creatures that live there too.

Sea turtles provide habitat for an array of “aquatic hitchhikers” like barnacles and other small crustaceans, remoras, algae, and diatoms. Due to sea turtles undergoing long migrations, they help to transport these species. They also act as sort of an umbrella for fish that use them as shelter from predators.

Green sea turtles and manatees compete with sea turtles when it comes to food resources. However, when it comes to lower waters then green sea turtles get an advantage, where as manatees cannot compete.

An example of predator prey relationship is between large sharks and sea turtles. For example, tiger sharks are known to gravitate towards sea turtles to eat. Also, killer whales play a big role as well because they have been known to prey on sea turtles as well.

If sea turtles went extinct then the dune vegetation would lose all of the nutrients, would not be as healthy and would not be strong enough to maintain the dunes, resulting in increased erosion. The fewer the sea turtles, the fewer eggs laid out on beaches meaning no nutrients.
