Green Sea Turtle 7 Emily and Koreen by Emily Goubeaux https://padlet.com/16619401/talxogyecsy8 Made with serendipity en-us 2018-01-16 17:46:49 UTC 2023-03-29 17:50:00 UTC hello@padlet.com NICHE It eats algae so it could help when algae is overgrowing. It's also one of the few things that eat sea grass (SAVs). And SAVs needs to be cut to stay healthy and grow across the seafloor instead of just growing longer. Without the green sea turtle the SAVs would die and later other organisms would die too because they don't have the SAVs and soon there would be a dead zone. 16619401 https://padlet.com/16619401/talxogyecsy8/wish/221813611 2018-01-16 17:55:11 UTC https://padlet.com/16619401/talxogyecsy8/wish/221813611 16619401 https://padlet.com/16619401/talxogyecsy8/wish/221815173 2018-01-16 17:58:23 UTC https://padlet.com/16619401/talxogyecsy8/wish/221815173 DESCRIPTION It varies from dark green to olive brown.
