In particular, the loggerhead. As of 1973, the loggerhead sea turtles were listed at risk for extinction. ]]> 2019-03-13 15:08:45 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_ray/qe6dc195hv6d/wish/340915737 isabella_ray https://padlet.com/isabella_ray/qe6dc195hv6d/wish/340924432 While there are many factors causing sea turtles to go extinct, there are a few reasons that seem to stand out above the others. Turtles normally are slaughtered for their eggs, meat, skin and shells. ]]> 2019-03-13 15:21:42 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_ray/qe6dc195hv6d/wish/340924432 isabella_ray https://padlet.com/isabella_ray/qe6dc195hv6d/wish/340925148 2019-03-13 15:22:40 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_ray/qe6dc195hv6d/wish/340925148 isabella_ray https://padlet.com/isabella_ray/qe6dc195hv6d/wish/340925713 2019-03-13 15:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_ray/qe6dc195hv6d/wish/340925713 isabella_ray https://padlet.com/isabella_ray/qe6dc195hv6d/wish/340929832 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

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]]> 2019-03-14 12:37:31 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_ray/qe6dc195hv6d/wish/341285245 isabella_ray https://padlet.com/isabella_ray/qe6dc195hv6d/wish/341286675 Sea turtles also suffer severely from poaching and over-exploitation, which means they are being over harvested.
