Ocean Plastic Pollution Impact On Sea Turtles: Preservation Campaign Launched

PRESS RELEASE
Published November 30, 2023

Ever Wonder Nature is an online resource for eco-tourist destinations and environmental safeguarding projects with several ongoing campaigns for supporting different ecological causes. The latest launch is bringing attention to how ocean plastic waste has contributed to the endangerment of sea turtles and how their decline affects the fragile ecosystem.

According to WWF, sea turtles have existed for 100 million years, giving them an important role as a keystone species that maintains the balance in their natural habitat. But in the last 30 years, 90% of the biggest breed, the leatherback sea turtle, has declined, largely to blame on plastic waste. Just like WWF, Ever Wonder Nature recognizes that this calls for action and wants to make more people aware of the devastating effects of marine plastic pollution.

Ever Wonder Nature points out three main issues with a potential sea turtle extinction: jellyfish overgrowth, reduced seagrass meadows, and a major imbalance in the marine nutrition cycle. These consequences would lead to the loss of habitats for other species and affect the whole food chain. In addition to being a considerable factor in this environmental issue, plastic pollution also leads to a slow and painful death for the turtles that get trapped in or ingest waste.

In addition to providing information about sea turtles' role in a biodiverse marine ecosystem, Ever Wonder Nature also has a merch collection. In the line, environmentalists can choose from hoodies, T-shirts, and mugs with the texts "Guardians of the Sea," "Save Sea Turtles," and "Stop Plastic-Polluting the Sea."

Some other campaigns that Ever Wonder Nature supports are "End Shark Finning, Protect Oceans" and "Stop Food Waste, Save Mother Earth," and has practical advice on how readers can contribute to these efforts. Additionally, the website lists several vacations that can be enjoyed in good conscience as the resorts and activities work actively to preserve nature.

"By adopting sustainable practices, reducing plastic pollution, and promoting conservation efforts, we can ensure the continued existence of sea turtles, safeguarding the health and resilience of marine ecosystems for generations to come," a company spokesperson said.
