What puts them in danger
- Plastic
- Bags and fragments look like food. Once swallowed, they block the gut.
- Fishing gear
- Hooks, lines and abandoned nets cause deep wounds and drowning.
- Boat strikes
- Turtles come up to breathe and are hit by hulls and propellers.
- Disturbed beaches
- Lights, building work and traffic on the shore disrupt nesting.
