TERRIFIC TURTLE FACTS!
• Someone sign these sea turtles up for the Olympics - these endearing creatures have been documented to migrate vast distances; with one reported to have travelled more than 9000 miles from California to Japan.
• Poaching remains a significant threat to sea turtles around the world. In November 2014, authorities in Vietnam seized more than 1000 preserved sea turtle carcasses from a warehouse. Many of them contain tracking chips implanted by researchers.
• Plastic debris in the ocean represents a significant threat to sea turtles, with a recent study showing that they are at the greatest risk of becoming sick or dying from eating plastic. A 1993 study found plastic debris in the digestive tracts of 51 percent of loggerheads and necropsies of dead turtles have found some with their entire digestive tracts packed with pieces of plastic bags.
