Shrouded in mystery, sea turtles swim to us out of the mists of time, having survived extinction where dinosaurs didn’t. Three of the seven species are now endangered, two critically. Sea turtles are a fundamental link in maintaining our marine ecosystems by helping maintain the health of sea grass beds and coral reefs. Let’s do our part to make sure they don’t go extinct.
