Good turtle news to start off your week! 🐢

Data from sites we monitor suggests that marine turtle nesting is on the up this year!

Hatchlings like these face a tough journey, but we're doing all we can to protect them.

Good morning to everyone, but especially to all the sea turtles, for today is their special day!

To celebrate World Sea Turtle Day, here is an illustration from the book 'Natural History Abridged' (1828) by Georges-Louis Leclerc.

I feel so fortunate to have seen Honu (Green Sea Turtles) while I was on the Big Island in January.

"Sea turtles are important species from many perspectives: #ecologically, behaviorally, #morphologically, historically, and as part of our natural heritage. There is a broad fascination with sea #turtles wherever they live that has its foundations in their diverse, and often still mysterious, natural history..."

Linking #Ecology, #Morphology, and Behavior to #Conservation: Lessons Learned from Studies of Sea Turtles

& stay tuned tomorrow for a blog by the authors

#science #biology
Here we describe examples of studies that have contributed both to a basic understanding of the #biology of imperiled marine #turtles, and to their management and conservation. Key elements include, first and foremost, correctly identifying species that differ strikingly in their morphology at different life stages because with growth, they change size by several orders of magnitude and have accompanying shape changes. We also review comprehensive field studies documenting the need for management actions to correct abnormal shifts in sex ratios caused by climate change. We highlight the need to describe those perturbations in terms that are clear to regulators and personnel responsible for management and conservation policies. Finally, we review several basic studies that enhance our understanding of how selection has shaped morphological, functional, and performance attributes, and describe how that knowledge can be applied to the tasks required for enhancing species recovery.

Moment of Awe – Discovering hidden #ecosystems on the backs of sea turtles

"Some Native American cultures propose that the Earth is carried on the back of a giant turtle. My moment of awe came when I discovered that it is not only the “Cosmic Turtle” that carries a world of biodiversity on its shell but that this is a universal trait of all sea turtles! The hidden world of sea turtle #epibionts – #organisms that make their homes on the bodies of marine animals – was revealed to me in 2014 when I began collaborating with John Zardus (https://www.citadel.edu/biology/faculty-staff/dr-john-d-zardus-ph-d/), Theodora Pinou (https://www.wcsu.edu/biology/surf/faculty-mentors/pinou/), and Eric Lazo-Wasem (https://peabody.yale.edu/about/curators-collections-staff?division=29). The epibiotic communities that they showed me encompassed complex #ecosystems riding through the oceans as persistent “hitch hikers” on their sea turtle hosts..."

Many sea turtles eat jellies in the wild. Plastic bags floating in the ocean look like jellies to sea turtles, and consuming them can be fatal.  Please keep marine debris out of the ocean! #SeaTurtleDay #SeaTurtleWeek @natmarinelfectr @conserveturtles @NOAAFisheries @NOAADebris

For #SeaTurtleDay, keep turtles in the sea, not tangled in nets. 🐢🌊 Eat plants, skip seafood, pick up a piece of trash if you can.

Sea turtles have been around for millions of years—let’s not let our dinner choices take them out. 🐢🌊 On #SeaTurtleDay, skip seafood, pick up some beach trash if you can, and celebrate with an ocean-colored smoothie bowl instead.
