Great news! Last week, Representative Beyer introduced the Protect Gulf Life Act, a bill that aims to nullify the March 31 decision by the “God Squad” to exempt oil and gas activities in the Gulf from Endangered Species Act (ESA) requirements.

Right now, ESA-listed sea turtles and marine mammals, fish, and corals across 600,000 square miles in the Gulf are unprotected from harm by the oil and gas industry. Sea turtles need this decision to be reversed. Please contact your U.S. House Representative and encourage them to support the Protect Gulf Life Act!

WOW! Another critically endangered Kemp's ridley nested in Volusia County, FL! This makes four on this stretch of beach. They also reported that this lovely little turtle had a very distinctive shell so they know they have never seen her before. How exciting!

TIME TO VOTE! 🐢🗳️ Thank you to everyone who submitted turtle names last week! ICYMI, here’s the background on this turtle: Our team recently returned from Panama where we deployed satellite tags on 10 nesting leatherback turtles (you’ll be able to track them soon). Now we need your help to name one of them! This lovely lady was encountered nesting on May 10 on Soropta Beach, Panama. Our team noticed she had a boat strike scar, so she is one resilient reptile! We’ve picked our three favorite names from your suggestions, vote using the official poll or leave a comment. We’ll announce the winning name on Thursday! 🥰

NAMES:
Scarlett
Gertrude
Milagro (Spanish for "Miracle")
