In 1978,  the sea turtles were placed under protection of the protection of the endangered spiecies act. This act would protect them from capture in fishing nets and shrimp trawls. This would benefit them so they would be able to get to the top to breathe. No person may take, harass, harm, pursue, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture or attempts to engage in any such conduct to marine turtles, turtle nests, and/or turtle eggs. https://cnso.nova.edu/seaturtles/endangered.html

People will also be speeding on the water while in boats. This results in the turtles shells being crushed when they are swimming up top and get ran over. This causes severe damage to themselves, they lose their protection from predators, and finally, they will sink to the bottom and be in to much pain to swim back up to the top for air, and unless save they will drown
