The lined seahorse is listed by the IUCN as a vulnerable species. Populations are in decline because of commercial fishing, habitat degradation, and pollution. Their conservation matters, so we are breeding them here at the Aquarium. https://t.co/Ijjsdob91N

From 28 egg masses, our team successfully released 512 frogs into their native habitat through a Gopher Frog Headstarting initiative—populations are declining in the wild and this program gives them a headstart to survive. Read more: https://t.co/4yWDtoID6R

Spotted turtles are identified as Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) in all 21 states in which they occur, considered Endangered by the IUCN, and have been petitioned for federal listing under the Endangered Species Act. #ConservationTuesday
Classified as endangered, green sea turtles are threatened by overharvesting of their eggs, hunting of adults, being caught in fishing gear and loss of nesting sites. Join us National Reptile Day Oct. 21, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. to learn more about green sea turtles. #ConservationTuesday
Oyster aquaculture is perhaps the most sustainable form of aquaculture. Oysters filter water and provide habitat for many marine species. Oyster farms are sustainable seafood sources that improve their surrounding environments. #ConservationTuesday
For decades sea turtles have suffered due to hunting, loss of nesting beaches, and pollution. Fishing is also a danger—thousands of turtles accidentally caught in nets and equipment every year. Today, green sea turtles are classified as an endangered species. #ConservationTuesday
Why is whale shark conservation important? One reason is they regulate the ocean's plankton levels and prevent these microscopic organisms' numbers from growing without restriction – something that could have a negative effect on ocean environments. #ConservationTuesday
Sometimes magic happens! Teachers who embarked on the 2023 #NCAFF Coastal Conservation Course experienced the trifecta of turtle watching — a sea turtle nest hatch, a nest trickle and a nesting mother. Read more: https://t.co/weTLy4qRPm #ConservationTuesday
Rising water temps will affect everyone with signs that coastal ecosystems & marine life are impacted, including stronger storms. NCAFF Education Curator Andy Gould shares how warming waters can negatively affect marine life @WWAY #ConservationTuesday

There are more than 1,200 species of sharks—latest assessments estimate that 1/3 of those species are threatened with extinction. The largest threat globally is overfishing. Inadequate fisheries management is a challenge to shark conservation. #ConservationTuesday

Across their range, diamondback terrapin populations are in decline. Conservation status varies by state. Major threats to terrapins include commercial collection for food, habitat destruction, drowning in fishing gear, and road mortality. #ConservationTuesday
The Red-cockaded Woodpecker is listed as Endangered. Conservation efforts include controlled fires to mimic the natural burns that historically maintained suitable a habitat. This has helped to boost some populations and establish new colonies. #ConservationTuesday

Diamondback terrapins are the only turtles in the US that live in brackish water. They are often caught as bycatch in crab pots, leading to drowning. To help reduce the number of terrapins that drown in crab pots, use Turtle Excluder Devices when crabbing. #ConservationTuesday
Atlantic-Caribbean coral reef ecosystems are in the midst of an unprecedented outbreak of stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD). Characterized by rapid spread, rapid tissue loss, and high mortality rates, SCTLD has affected corals throughout the Caribbean. #ConservationTuesday
American manatees are often called sea cows because their diet is mostly sea grasses. The number one cause of death for the American Manatee is boat strikes, making up roughly ¼ of manatee deaths #EndangeredSpecies #ConservationTuesday

Just like us, snakes are enjoying the warm weather! No cause for alarm—snakes should be respected and admired. These reptiles eat rodents and other pests and are eaten by birds and other predators. Here's how to coexist with them: https://t.co/6kVZ6997oQ

It's an exciting day when the sea turtles we rehabilitate get a clean bill of health and sprint back to the ocean. Kemp's ridleys are endangered throughout their range which includes the Gulf of Mexico and the U.S. eastern seaboard. https://t.co/X9IC3tMhpK
Today we had the pleasure of releasing 2 Kemp's ridley sea turtles back into the ocean. These turtles had been under our care for several months to ensure they were healthy and strong enough for release. It was an awesome sight to see swim away. #ConservationTuesday #KureBeachNC

Understand the Chacma baboon (Papio ursinus)
The Chacma baboon plays an important ecological role on the Cape Peninsula, contributing to Cape Town’s rich biodiversity and these primates are a local, national, and international tourist attraction.
Microplastics are invading our marine environments and have been found in marine animals as tiny as plankton to the largest whales. Harmful plastics have been found in our seafood and even drinking water. Learn more: https://t.co/HlpW1qo7zJ #StopSingleUse #ConservationTuesday
