You may ask, why is plastic pollution such a big threat to sea turtles?⠀
⠀
Well, plastic bags look very similar to jellyfish, and fishing nets often look like seaweed to sea turtles. They think they’re consuming some of their staple foods, when really they’re welcoming harmful substances into their digestive tract.⠀
⠀
It is suggested that nearly 100% of sea turtles will ingest plastic at some point in their lifespan. ⠀

Say no to single-use plastic and save the turtles 🐢⠀
