Loggerhead Day — June 12! 🌊🐢
We honor the Loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta), a powerful ocean traveler facing threats from marine debris. Discarded nets, ropes, and waste can trap & kill these turtles. Protect our oceans—every action helps save our pawikan. #SeaTurtleWeek

#WorldSeaTurtleWeek Spotlight: meet the loggerhead sea turtle! 💙

Loggerhead turtles get their name from their large head, slightly out of proportion with their bodies. Their powerful jaws allow them to effortlessly crunch on hard-shelled prey.

Happy Loggerhead Day for #SeaTurtleWeek!

Loggerheads are basically ocean tanks. Big head = crazy strong jaws so they can crush stuff like whelks & conch. 🐚😳

Pollution threatens sea turtles at every stage of life.

These pollutants can cause immediate harm or build up in their tissues over time, weakening their immune systems, spreading disease, and even leading to death.

The hawksbill turtle’s beak-like mouth is perfect for eating their favorite food: sponges!

These turtles play an important role in their ecosystem, as eating sponges helps opens up space for other organisms to grow. 🪸

All eyes on our blue planet this #WorldOceanDay.

The ocean connects every coastline, every community, and every one of us. When people come together with a shared purpose, we can protect the waters that sustain life, strengthen communities, and inspire action across the globe.

“Many small people, in many small places, doing many small things, can change the face of the world.” — African proverb
“Many drops make a mighty ocean.” — Japanese proverb
“One broomstick breaks easily, but the bundle is strong.” — Kenyan proverb

This #WorldOceanDay, let’s stand together for a thriving ocean and a healthier future for our planet.

P.S. A gentle reminder to drop the “s” — we share one interconnected ocean that unites us all. Thinking of it as one global ocean helps inspire the cooperation and collective action needed to protect it for future generations.

Tip of the day: learn about simple everyday choices that reduce plastic pollution and help marine ecosystems thrive. Small actions can make a big difference over time.

With #SeaTurtleWeek almost here, we're highlighting a major threat to sea turtles: fisheries bycatch.

New research found that sea turtles often avoid nets they can see, suggesting visual cues are important.

The green sea turtle is the 2nd largest sea turtle, reaching up to 500 lbs.

Adults are herbivores, grazing on seagrass and algae.
They’re also the only sea turtle that regularly comes ashore to bask in places like Hawaii and the Galápagos Islands.

Sea turtle conservation isn't always boats and tropical waters.

Often, it's long nights on dark beaches, searching for nesting turtles and protecting vulnerable nests.

This footage comes from our partners, PAMaLi Indonesia.

[seaturtleweek @seaturtleweek]

Good news! 🌱

Seagrass is rebounding in Florida's Indian River Lagoon after pollution-fueled algae blooms wiped out about 75% of it. That's important because seagrass feeds manatees and green sea turtles while supporting the entire ecosystem.
