Sea turtles are marine reptiles belonging to the Cheloniidae and Dermochelyidae families. They live in the ocean, but return to land to lay their eggs. In fact, sea turtles return to the beaches where they were born to lay their eggs. Females dig a nest in the sand, lay their eggs, then cover them with sand. After incubation, which varies according to species, the baby turtles emerge from the nest and head out to sea.
There are seven species of sea turtle in the world. The best-known species are the green, loggerhead, hawksbill, leatherback, olive ridley, flatback and Kemp's ridley turtles. Sea turtles are often observed in the warm waters of tropical and subtropical regions. Unfortunately, sea turtles are endangered. Sea turtles face many threats, including habitat loss due to beach urbanization, marine pollution, poaching and climate change. Numerous organizations around the world are working to protect them. Efforts are being made to protect nesting beaches, set up marine protected areas and reduce plastic pollution in the oceans. Associations are also promoting sustainable fishing practices to minimize turtle bycatch.Sea turtles are crucial to the balance of marine ecosystems. Their conservation is important for maintaining marine biodiversity and the integrity of coastal ecosystems.
There are many turtle protection volunteer opportunities around the world. Here are the main activities of organizations that have set up ecovolunteering and ecotourism trips to protect sea turtles.
