We’ve got one shell of an episode for you! Listen in as we discuss the different species of sea turtles, how they reproduce, and the major threats to their survival. Stay tuned next week when we’re joined by our herpetologist friend to dive deeper!

BIG TAKEAWAY: Sea turtles have survived for > 100,000 years due to their incredible adaptations, but our world is changing too fast for them to adapt to the numerous threats they now face. Protecting them requires a multi-pronged approach; from being mindful of our plastic use, to preventing light pollution, we all have a part to play.
