While the leatherback can hold its breath longer and dive deeper than any other sea turtle (85 minutes at depths of up to 4,200 feet!), it’s still an air-breathing reptile that will drown if it’s unable to surface. And that’s often what happens when leatherbacks become tangled in our marine debris.
