Sea Turtles: Sea turtles are another species which is drastically effected by longline fishing being caught as another bycatch. The two sea turtles who are accidentally caught more often are the loggerhead sea turtle and the leatherback sea turtle. Both of these sea turtles have been known to be on endangered lists and unless we can change our fishing methods these innocent organisms could be lost in the near future. In a study by R. Lewison, et al. (2004) they were able to estimate the regions

“Sea turtles are antiquated creatures on the earth. They have lived on the earth over nearly 65 million years; they saw the dinosaurs survive, and they saw them pass on.” (Velasquez-Manoff, 2007) Despite the fact that sea turtles can get by for quite a while, they are stuck in an unfortunate situation in the ebb and flow time.

The following research project will focus on the Eastern Mediterranean Loggerhead Sea Turtle. Particularly, this paper will analyze why the Loggerhead consistently returns to it its natal nesting grounds in the eastern Mediterranean as opposed to nesting in the western region. To begin, background of the Eastern Mediterranean Loggerhead will be provided to the reader, and then the essay will proceed to discuss the process by which Loggerheads nest and hatch. Following this explanation, this essay

After a significant slump last year, sea turtle nesting has rebounded to record levels on beaches from the Carolinas to Florida. The good news largely can be attributed to the conservation efforts of researchers and volunteers, who have spent the summer cataloging and protecting sea turtle nests, according to the New York Times. "It's a lot of physical effort," stated Wildlife biologist Doug Hoffman. "You're talking about being in the sun, hauling equipment and digging holes, pounding stakes.

Introduction: The loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) was named as a threatened species on July 28, 1978. Loggerhead turtles are the most common type of sea turtle.

Turtles are one of the oldest reptile groups. They are classified as amniotes. They have existed a long time ago, which means they have seen the rise and fall of the dinosaurs and the rise of humanity. Scientists think that turtles have existed for around 157 million years (mosaic 29). Approximately, sea turtles were 65 million years ago (Dobbs 1). This family has survived the passage of time and is threatened by the contamination that humans have created in the ocean. The six sea turtles that occur

pollution effect marine turtles and what can we do to prevent this environmental issue. With society's increasing reliance on non biodegradable plastics, our oceans are being filled with more and more harmful products. This thesis will be discussing the negative impact that plastic products have on our oceans sea turtles, and proposes a number of solutions that need immediately to be put in place. Plastic pollution has been identified as a major, global-scale threat to sea turtles for decades, and the
