5 Ways Families Can Help Sea Turtles

1. Use less plastic. Sea turtles can eat plastic that ends up in the ocean. Use reusable bags, straws, & bottles, help clean up litter, and recycle plastic waste when possible. Check out Travelers Against Plastic.

2. Help save baby turtles. Every $1 you raise saves 10 hatchlings at an important nesting beach. Learn more below.

3. Go SEE them. Join one of our turtle trips for families or schools below and you can help protect these incredible animals.
