The demand for fresh water is already taking away many water sources expecially in third world countries. It shouldn't be ignored! It is so important for us to find other sources to provide better means of underground pure water systems. As population increases and water supplies go down, we are in deep trouble!  ?? QUESTION ??  I was wondering why the male sea turtles don't come back on land after hatching. The answer is that they have no need to come back on shore.
