ππ’ Happy World Sea Turtle Day! π’π
Today we celebrate some of the oceanβs most incredible ambassadorsβsea turtles! These ancient mariners have been swimming our oceans for over 100 million years, yet today they face many challenges including marine debris, habitat loss, boat strikes, and accidental capture in fishing gear.
At the Navarre Beach Sea Turtle Conservation Center, every day is Sea Turtle Day. Through education, conservation, and rescue efforts, we work to protect these amazing animals and inspire others to do the same.
You can help sea turtles by:
β
Keeping beaches clean, flat, and dark
β
Properly disposing of fishing line and tackle
β
Reducing single-use plastics
β
Respecting marked nesting areas
β
Sharing sea turtle conservation messages with others
Together, we can help ensure future generations will have the opportunity to witness the wonder of sea turtles in the wild.
Join us in celebrating World Sea Turtle Day and showing some love for these amazing ocean travelers! πππ’
