__ Sea Turtles(When slanted and bolded that means it's a vocab word) __



-Million's of sea turtles used to live on the earth now only a fraction remain.

-Destruction of the feeding, nesting habitats, and pollution in the worlds oceans have taken a serious toll on remaining sea turtles populations.

-Thousands of sea turtles around the world have been tagged to help collect information about growth rates, reproductive cycles and migration routes.

-Each species of sea turtle eats, sleeps, mates, and swims in different areas.

-Sea turtles usually feed and rest on and off for a typical day.

-Different species of sea turtles like to eat different kinds of food (see below turtles to find out what there eat).

-Sea turtles have mouths and jaws that are specially formed to help them eat the food they like.

-Sea turtles can sleep at the surface while in the deep water or at the bottom of the water under rocks.

-Sea turtles are mainly solitary creatures.

-Females mate with several males depending on the nesting season.

-The average amount of eggs in a clutch ranges from around 80 to 120.

Conservation International The ocean covers two-thirds of the earth's surface, and provides us with 80% of our water. Today, many of the oceans top predators have gone! Coral reefs have turned white from bleached with chemical runoffs. If we don't start trying to help the ocean restore itself now, we won't have it later. Then the 80% of the 02 we breathe will be gone We have to start helping NOW!!!
