Baby Sea Turtles Attacked

"Less than 1% of the hatchlings actually made it to adulthood. "


So let us not deny the hatchlings their already slim chance of surviving into adulthood, by not eating turtles eggs and not throwing litters indiscriminately into the sea today.


Protect the eggs.


Stop littering.


And pass on the message of conservation to the people around you.
