Celebrate World Turtle Day!

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.
