Plastic pollution is just one of the threats these magnificent animals are facing. But it’s not just about the turtles themselves. They are also defenders of ocean health. Protecting them helps protect our oceans, benefitting all of us who share our amazing planet.
How do turtles make our oceans healthier? Through their grazing and foraging habits, green turtles influence the growth of sea grass, which is an important carbon sink and nursery habitat for fish and other marine life. Other turtle species play different but equally important roles in ecosystem health. Find out more.
Tragically, the many threats turtles face today include getting trapped in discarded fishing gear, swallowing fishing hooks, being hit by boat propellors, or eating plastic waste, all of which can result in horrific injuries and internal damage. Find out more. Worryingly for all of us, evidence suggests that ingesting micro plastics causes cellular damage, resulting in many health issues and a good chance that a turtle will end up in a rescue centre.

This is where we step in! We are on a mission to empower dedicated veterinarians and rehabilitators who work tirelessly with endangered species like sea turtles. Find out more. These unsung heroes need specialised skills to nurse sick and injured turtles back to health, and that's where your support is crucial. Be part of our mission by donating during our Big Give Christmas Challenge.
