The plastic bags will also block their digestive system and will eventually die.]]> 2017-07-05 02:28:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jeronlowjq/7ekiwm3y9o7i/wish/178070802 jeronlowjq https://padlet.com/jeronlowjq/7ekiwm3y9o7i/wish/178072075 there are about 1000 nesting females left.]]> 2017-07-05 02:47:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jeronlowjq/7ekiwm3y9o7i/wish/178072075 jeronlowjq https://padlet.com/jeronlowjq/7ekiwm3y9o7i/wish/178073121 People who do not care would throw the litter anywhere they want or strong winds could blow the litter away from rubbish bins.They end up in the ocean and since it is exposed to sunlight it will become very small and easily consume by sea turtles and marine life. ]]> 2017-07-05 03:03:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jeronlowjq/7ekiwm3y9o7i/wish/178073121 jeronlowjq https://padlet.com/jeronlowjq/7ekiwm3y9o7i/wish/178073341 There are about 2000000 cigarette and cigarette filters,1000000 plastic bags,1000000 food wrappers and containers 1000000 plastic bottles 900000 bottle caps and much more]]> 2017-07-05 03:08:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jeronlowjq/7ekiwm3y9o7i/wish/178073341 jeronlowjq https://padlet.com/jeronlowjq/7ekiwm3y9o7i/wish/178073560 Some species will be extinct soon e.g (The leather back turtle might be extinct within 20 years time)]]> 2017-07-05 03:14:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jeronlowjq/7ekiwm3y9o7i/wish/178073560 jeronlowjq https://padlet.com/jeronlowjq/7ekiwm3y9o7i/wish/178196110 They help keep grass beds and coral reefs  healthy which will benefit valuable animals   e.g(lobster, shrimp)
They can also help our economic as  to have a chance to see baby sea turtles hatch is very expensive so if sea turtles are extinct, countries like the Philippines in turtle island will not be able to make money and will have to close down.]]> 2017-07-06 14:01:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jeronlowjq/7ekiwm3y9o7i/wish/178196110 jeronlowjq https://padlet.com/jeronlowjq/7ekiwm3y9o7i/wish/178199207 They live in almost every ocean. However sometimes they migrate from one place to another e.g
(logger head turtles nest in japan and sometimes they go all the way to mexico to forage that is 10791 km) 
(Forage is to search widely for food.)]]> 2017-07-06 14:43:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jeronlowjq/7ekiwm3y9o7i/wish/178199207 jeronlowjq https://padlet.com/jeronlowjq/7ekiwm3y9o7i/wish/178200186 1)turn off all lights near beach.
Sea turtles babies would use the light reflected from the moon to make their way to the ocean and if there are other light sources,the turtles will be attracted to those light sources and there might be dangerous things like cars that will injure them.
2)Reduce amount of garbage you produce. 
Some garbage are light like(plastic bags)will be blown by the wind and into the ocean and plastic bags have a way to mimic a jelly fish which is the food for most turtles and they will die after eating the plastic bag as they choke on the plastic bag.
3)Know where are the nesting sites of sea turtles.
Be sure you know where are the nesting sites in case you might step on them and if you are going to observe them do not bring a flashlight.
4)Reduce the amount of chemicals used.
Some chemicals might go to the sea and some off these chemicals will be toxic to turtles.
5)volunteer.
You could ask your friends or family and pick up litter near the seaside .You could also talk to others and tell they the importance of sea turtles or you could join any beach clean up event and help them clean up.]]> 2017-07-06 14:55:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jeronlowjq/7ekiwm3y9o7i/wish/178200186
