The Danger in the Sea: Negative Human Impacts on Marine turtles - Turtles have been around for about 230 million years (Dobbs 1). In that time, they have seen the rise and fall of the dinosaurs and the rise of mankind. Marine turtles have been around for about 65 million years (Dobbs 1). This family has withstood the test of time and is being threatened by human’s impact on the sea. All six of the marine turtles occurring on the shores of America are at least threatened. Marine turtles are very important to the ecosystem but humans are endangering this family directly and indirectly; if humans do not stop their destructive habits, we may lose the influence of marine turtles on the earth’s seas....

    Why Do Hawksbill Turtles And What Do They Eat?

    Hawksbill turtles are important inhabitants of coral reefs. By consuming sponges, they play an important role in the reef community, It’s estimated that one turtle can consume over 1,000 pounds of sponge per year. Without the turtles, sponges can overgrow corals and suffocate reefs. With a narrow head and jaws shaped like a beak, the hawksbill can get food from crevices in coral reefs. Sponges, anemones, squid and shrimp are all what they mainly feed on as part of their diet.…

    Informative Speech On Ridley Sea Turtles

    In 1947 it was reported that over 40,000 Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles were nesting along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico and today only 200 Kemp Ridley’s remain on those grounds, making these sea turtles one of the most endangered animals in the United States. When I was younger I remember visiting South Padre Island and seeing holes a long the shore line with little eggs inside them, I also remember this man who drove up and down the beach looking for those eggs in a golf cart. I asked my mom “Why is this man taking away these eggs, won’t the momma be sad?” my mom then told me that these were in fact the eggs of the Kemp’s Ridley. I had no idea how that was relevant, I was six…

    What Is The Threat To Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtles

    Female Kemp's ridley turtles nest from May to July, laying two to three clutches of around 100 eggs, which incubate for 50-60 days. Kemp's ridley turtles exhibit one of the most unique synchronized nesting habits in the natural world, known as an "arribada," which means "arrival" in Spanish. According to the NOAA Fisheries, there are many theories on what triggers an arribada, including offshore winds, lunar cycles, and the release of pheromones by females; scientists however have yet to conclusively determine the cues for ridley arribadas ("Kemp's Ridley Turtle (Lepidochelys…

    Dry Tortugas National Park Report

    It was about five thirty when i got up. I wanted to go for a hike around the National park so I did. When i got back the time was about about 7:30 in the morning. When I was on my hike around the park I saw many signs telling me about endangered animals, some of the signs I read were about the loggerhead sea turtle, and the leather back sea turtle. The signs told me how the loggerhead sea turtle and the leather back sea turtle eggs are about the size and shape of a ping pong ball. This huge sign also told me that after the sea turtles egg hatch biologists excavate nest and record the number of unmatched and hatched eggs, and also live and dead turtles. So when I got back it was time for breakfast so i went and got breakfast i wanted to be done with it faster so I could go get started with another wonderful day. I was finished with my breakfast around nine thirty. I went back to my tent after breakfast and get ready to go snorkeling.

    Manatee Research Paper

    The most pressing human-related threat to manatees is injury and death resulting from collisions with watercraft. In 2000, at least 78 manatees were killed by watercraft. Another important threat is loss of reliable warm water habitats that allow manatees to survive the cold in winter. Natural springs are threatened by increased demands for water supply and aging power plants may need to be replaced. Deregulation of the power industry may also result in less reliable man-made sources of warm water. Sea grass and other aquatic foods that manatees depend on are affected by water pollution and sometimes direct…

    Bog turtle

    This tiny turtle hatches from its egg in late August, early September, after incubating for forty-two to fifty-six days (Earnst 1994). Shortly after being born, together the small turtles burrow into mud or find an abandoned vole or muskrat hole to hibernate in. Around eight years of age these guys finally reach maturity. In the spring after that, they begin to mate with one another. After fertilized, the female turtle will begin to build her nest in sphagnum moss. During the beginning summer months the female will lay up to six eggs at a time (Earnst 1994). Once laid, the female will leave the eggs unattended so that they can incubate. These amazing little turtles can live up to 40 years. Bog turtles are active from April to October but are most…

    Sea Turtle Bycatch

    Sea Turtle Bycatch

    “Six of the seven sea turtle species are listed as vulnerable, endangered, or greatly endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of threatened species (Roach).” These suffering sea turtle species are the following: Reen, Hawksbill, Kemp’s Ridley, Leatherback, Loggerhead, and Olive Ridley. All of these turtles are found in the waters off the coasts of the United States of America. The only species of sea turtle that is not in trouble, the Flatback sea turtle, is only found in Australian waters (“Sea”). It is hard to find the exact number of sea turtles since male sea turtles do not come back to the shore once they are hatched. However, the number has decreased by as much as eighty percent in the past twenty years; this is known from the amount of nests found on beaches (“Position”). Sea turtles face many struggles such as being harvested for consumption and illegal sea turtle shell trade. Loss of habitat, oil spills, and climate change are also key challenges that they come across. Yet, their prime problem is bycatch (“Threats”). ““Of all threats sea turtles face right now, bycatch is the most serious,” said Bryan Wallace, a marine biologist with Conservation International (Roach).” Bycatch is the incidental capture of species other than what fishers were intending to catch (“What is Bycatch”). Fishers, commercial and local, should be required to use circle hooks, TEDs (Turtle Excluder Devices), and special lights that do not attract sea turtles when fishing to reduce bycatch of sea turtles.…

    Questioning the Wisdom Behind Spending on Turtles

    Pakistan has been blessed with a coastline that extends up to 1,050 km (650 mi). Of these 250 km fall in Sindh province and 800 km in Baluchistan. This gives one an idea of the scope of the effort needed to protect and conserve the Green Sea Turtle which nests along the length and breadth of this coastline. The problem is compounded by the fact that the Makran coast, in Baluchistan consists of steep mountains that rise to an elevation of up to 1,500 m and deserted, secluded beaches. The coast is secluded and communication links especially rail and road links do not exist.…
