Sea turtles are an endangered species, but you can help preserve their habitats. You can make small changes no matter where you live, such as reducing how many single-use plastics you consume and only buying sustainable seafood. If you live or vacation near a sea turtle nesting beach, consider participating in a beach cleanup event and be aware of how your actions can help or harm sea turtles. Always leave the beach cleaner than how you found it.
