🐢🌊 **Hope for Sea Turtles!**
A new global survey reveals that over half of the world's sea turtle populations are showing signs of recovery—a testament to decades of dedicated conservation efforts. While challenges remain, especially for species like the leatherback, this marks a significant step forward in protecting these ancient mariners.

A new global survey finds that endangered sea turtles show signs of recovery in a majority of places where they’re found worldwide. The study looked at 48 populations of sea turtles. Scientists measured the impacts of threats such as hunting, pollution and climate change. In more than half of the areas studied, threats are declining overall. But there are some exceptions. Sea turtle populations in the Atlantic Ocean are more likely to be recovering than those in Pacific waters. And leatherback turtles are not recovering as well as other species. The survey was published Thursday.
Great news for sea turtle conservation! Loggerhead turtles rescued from Cape Cod beaches and rehabilitated at the New England Aquarium are not only surviving but are also returning to local waters to feed. This success highlights the effectiveness of rescue and rehabilitation efforts in supporting these endangered creatures.
