Current Events QTR 2 Week 8: Endangered Sea Turtles Head Home For Holidays

Endangered Sea Turtles Head Home For Holidays
More than a dozen endangered Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles were scheduled to head home for the holidays. The 20 turtles were headed to SeaWorld in Orlando, Fla. Crews from the Massachusetts Audubon at Wellfleet Bay rescued the cold-stunned sea turtles within the past six weeks from beaches on Cape Cod after they were washed. The turtles are being rehabilitated right now and will be released into the Atlantic just in time to head home for the holidays.


I think that this is very good because Kemp's Ridley sea turtles are an endangered species. In the wild there are not as many as there used to be so saving them is almost always a good thing. The rehabilitation of these beautiful creatures because if they get injured in the wild they almost always die. In conclusion all of the saved sea turtles  will most likely live and that is a very good thing.

Ratu said Fiji was rich in marine diversity and that people should become proactive to protect the gift of nature for future generations. More than 100 people joined a march to mark the occasion.

 Of course this is good news because it is a whole day just for protecting the marine environment. Other good effects are that is helps preserve the serine beauty of Fiji's marine ecosystems.
