🐢 It's World Sea Turtle Day! 🐢

We're spending today (and let's be honest, most days!) celebrating sea turtles. And now more than ever, these beloved animals need our help: https://t.co/A9EPvoLukM

Last fall, @OurOcean-led research on plastic ingestion in wildlife found that more than 1/2 of the sea turtles studied had plastic in their digestive systems at the time of their deaths.

To stop the global plastics problem, we must make fewer plastics AND expand reuse systems.

The ocean is vast, deep and powerful—but fragile in ways we are only beginning to understand.

Covering more than 70% of this planet, it produces more than half the oxygen we breathe, regulates climate and tirelessly works to sustain life on Earth.

[Ocean Conservancy @OurOcean]

But our ocean’s waters are warming. Currents are changing. Creatures are disappearing. Plastic pollution is suffocating life. The sea is absorbing more than it can bear.

Help us ensure our ocean can continue to sustain life—not just for us, but for generations.

Hawaiian monk seals are among the most endangered marine mammals in the world. 🦭

With only about 1,600 estimated to remain on Earth today, their future is fragile and uncertain—and the challenges they face are more urgent than ever before. ⬇️
