@NBPTROCKS Here’s two leatherbacks that we helped get to the ocean after they hatched.
But what they find might surprise them. Nowadays 10 years can change a beach from one of jungles to Jacuzzis.”

Here’s Gloria! I honestly don’t know how these giants survive in the midst of buildings and crowded beaches in San Juan but they do! Nature is resilient. They come back every year to same location to nest! #leatherbacks #tinglares #PuertoRico
Why are leatherbacks called #leatherbacks?
Unlike other sea turtles, they don’t have a hard, scaly shell. Their smooth, leathery skin covers a flexible layer of bone—perfect for diving to extreme depths and gliding through the ocean!

Today is about the largest sea turtle in the world... Leatherbacks!
They can eat 2,000 pounds of jellyfish in a day! Without Leatherbacks controlling jellyfish populations it would be near impossible for humans to enjoy the ocean.

Leatherback sea turtles in the Pacific are on the verge of extinction due to California drift gillnets and longlines in Hawaii - they are drowning in alarming numbers in industrial fishing gear. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #TurtleTuesday #Leatherbacks #GhostGear
Plastic bags are known to be ingested by leatherback sea turtles, mistaking them for their favorite food: jellyfish. Underwater it is very difficult to see the difference between a jellyfish and a plastic bag.

Leatherback sea turtles in the Atlantic forage along the continental shelf of the US from nesting areas in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico to the shores of Nova Scotia, just to feed on jellyfish. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #TurtleTuesday #Leatherbacks
While #leatherbacks love this tasty treat, they can easily confuse plastic debris for jellyfish. This can be fatal for sea turtles! Globally, it's estimated that 52% of sea turtles have eaten at least 1 piece of plastic. Let's continue to fight against single use plastics!
Hey St. John's! I'm @ColesAvalon signing books until 4. Having so much fun talking about #leatherbacks, #jellyfish & #art. Thanks @Boulder_Books
Fungal diseases are a rising health problem globally, in humans, nonhuman animals, & plants. Emerging fungal diseases have been associated with mass mortality events. Is Fusarium spp. impacting #leatherbacks in the study area? @UTOneHealth @UTIAg
We are proud to have helped support this study lead-authored by Dr. Samantha Kuschke in collaboration with @fauscience @utknoxville @umiamimedicine @utcvm @utiag @UTOneHealth @UTKCEHHS #UTIA #RealLifeSolutions
📢New paper from my @UpwellTurtles fellow, Dr. Nicole Barbour!
With @MercatorOcean🌊, we provided oceanographic data assisting the creation of a #conservation tool to prevent bycatch events, based on multidimensional movements of #leatherbacks🐢!

#Leatherbacks are a vulnerable species because of:
❗️Bycatch
❗️Egg harvesting
❗️Nesting habitat loss
❗️Vessel strikes
❗️Ocean pollution & marine debris
❗️Climate change
Let's do what we can to help this prehistoric specie survive.

The #leatherbacks have nested along Galathea Bay's coast for millions of years. However, in January 2021 the protected status of the sanctuary was canceled for the construction of a transshipment port.

Leatherback #turtles have been on our planet for millions of years, since the age of the dinosaurs. The decline of Pacific #leatherbacks is due to significant threats due to human interactions on nesting beaches and in the marine environment. https://t.co/OEM7kme75V
