🐢🌊 Happy World Sea Turtle Day!
Sea turtles have been navigating the Caribbean's waters for millions of years, playing an important role in maintaining healthy marine ecosystems. Yet today, they face growing threats from plastic pollution, habitat loss, coastal development, and accidental capture in fishing gear.
Across the Caribbean, organizations, communities, and volunteers are working to protect nesting beaches, reduce marine debris, and ensure these incredible animals have a future in our oceans.
