Celebrate World Turtle Day!

Saturday May 23, 2009
Sea turtles are at risk of extinction because of man's impact on the environment. Beaches on which they have laid their eggs for millions of years are being developed at a rapid rate, threatening the turtles' habitat. World Turtle Day (May 23) reminds us of the fragility of their existence. With renewed awareness, perhaps we can help preserve these amazing marine creatures.

These Olive Ridley hatchlings are less than one day old but ready to take the plunge. A small yolk sac on their underbelly will sustain them for the next two weeks until they can forage for themselves. The ones that survive that is. Out of a thousand hatchlings perhaps only 15 will live to maturity.
