Sea turtles

Do you want Sea turtles to go extinct? Well I definitely don’t!!

Right now your reading a report about Sea turtles this is what you will learn from this report… What they are, How we can protect them, and some cool facts about them.



What they are

Sea turtles are apart of the sea life, turtles breed in the tropics and subtropics, there are five species of turtle that are seen in New Zealand waters. Green and Leatherback turtles are the most common. Out of 7 known species of sea turtles 6 are badly hurt. The main things that are hurting them are poaching, loss of nesting or feeding areas, accidental catch (called bycatch), ocean pollution and weather changes (global warming).



How we can protect them

Well do you think Sea turtles are worth saving? I think they are worth saving, because they're a living species and so are we. I bet you if you knew how to protect them then a lot of people would start to change how they do things. We need to stop littering and start putting our rubbish in the right bins, even better trying not to use as much plastic in general. If you like eating Sea turtles then I’m not going to stop you there, but I will remind you about something very important. If its under size then you need to put it back in the water because that's illegal if you take it home. I think that we should protect Sea turtles and animals just as we would protect our kids and family.
