We have babies!! 🐢

Sea turtle hatchlings have started making their journey from the nest to the Gulf, and you can help give them the best chance of survival!

If your friend suddenly switched to a plant-based diet, spent all day sunbathing, and traveled thousands of miles to return to their childhood neighborhood... congratulations, they're basically a green sea turtle. 🌊😎

These ocean grazers are facing some serious challenges, and climate change is one of their biggest threats. Rising temperatures can affect the s*x ratio of hatchlings (warmer sand produces more females), stronger storms can damage nesting beaches, and sea level rise can wash away nests before hatchlings ever get their tiny flippers in the water.

🥗 They're the ocean's lawnmowers. Adult green sea turtles are mostly herbivores and love munching on seagrass and algae, helping keep seagrass beds healthy.

💚 They're not actually green on the outside. Their name comes from the greenish color of the fat beneath their shell, not the shell itself.

🚲 Choose low-carbon transportation when you can. Walk, bike, carpool, or combine errands to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

💡 Use less energy at home. Turn off unused lights and electronics, adjust your thermostat, and switch to energy-efficient appliances and LED bulbs.

🗳️ Support climate-friendly actions in your community. Vote, volunteer, and advocate for policies and programs that protect coastlines, reduce emissions, and invest in renewable energy.

So this Sea Turtle Week, channel your inner green sea turtle: eat your greens, soak up some sunshine, and help protect the only planet with sea turtles on it.

𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟑 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐞𝐚 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤!

Today we’re celebrating the ocean’s smallest, rarest and most endangered sea turtle, the amazing Kemp's Ridley!

🌊 Fun facts about these little turtles:

☀️ Unlike most sea turtles, Kemp’s ridleys are known for being daytime nesters, often coming ashore during daylight hours to lay their eggs.

🦀 Their favorite snack? Crabs! Kemp’s ridleys are basically the crab connoisseurs of the sea turtle world.

🌎 Most nesting occurs along the gulf coast of Mexico, but they can be found throughout the Gulf and along the Atlantic coast of the United States.

👯‍♀️ They’re famous for a nesting phenomenon called an “arribada” (Spanish for “arrival”), where thousands of females come ashore to nest at the same time.

⚠️ One of their biggest threats is ocean pollution. Plastic bags, fishing line, and marine debris can be mistaken for food or cause entanglement, putting these endangered turtles at serious risk.

𝐒𝐨 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐊𝐞𝐦𝐩’𝐬 𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐲:
✔️ 𝐄𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐲
✔️ 𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐮𝐩 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫
✔️ 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞-𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬
✔️ 𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞

Because being small doesn’t mean you can’t make a big splash—and every piece of trash kept out of the ocean helps protect these sea turtles. 💚🌊
