Defending Sea Turtles in Florida
Did you know that nearly 90 percent of sea turtle nesting in the continental U.S. occurs on Florida’s beaches? Or that five of the world’s seven species of sea turtles are found here? Although sea turtles are impressive swimmers, crisscrossing oceans during different stages of their life cycles, they haven’t been able to avoid many threats posed by people. These threats include fishing, poaching, pollution, habitat destruction and disturbance of nesting beaches. Defenders is working to help sea turtles in Florida by raising awareness of the animals’ plight, supporting citizens’ lawsuits to protect nesting habitat and shaping coastal policies in the state legislature.
