Tips on How to Create Great Care for the Turtles
Explore these impactful ways you can contribute to these incredible creatures:
- Turn off unnecessary lighting at night - most nesting and hatching activity occurs at night and artificial light can cause turtles to become disorientated. So, it is important to reduce any sources of artificial light where possible. If you cannot turn off indoor lights, you can help by closing curtains or blinds.
- Recycle right and keep rubbish out of our waterways - keeping our waterways pristine is paramount for the welfare of sea turtles. Dispose of rubbish responsibility to ensure it stays clear of channels leading to the ocean. By preventing debris from entering their habitats, you can contribute to a cleaner environment for these magnificent creatures.
- Reduce single-use plastic where possible - sea turtles and single-use plastics are a disastrous combination. Reduce your disposable plastics where possible. Opt for sustainable alternatives, champion recycling initiatives, and encourage community to join the fight against plastic pollution. Every plastic item spared is a step towards safeguarding the marine habitats sea turtles call home.
