Marine turtles have been swimming the world's oceans for 110 million years. They witnessed the rise and fall of the dinosaurs, but now struggle for survival due to man's activities.
Marine turtles are illegally hunted
for their eggs, meat and shells
Their nesting beaches are threatened by uncontrolled development
Thousands of turtles drown needlessly after becoming entangled in fishing gear
Marine litter and pollution claim
the lives of many turtles
Climate change is likely to seriously
impact their remaining feeding grounds and nesting habitat
