On #Nevis, they return. #Hawksbill, Green, and #Leatherback #turtles, critically endangered, rise from the sea in the dead of night to lay the future into the earth. They’ve been doing it for millennia. And for seven weeks this summer, you can walk alongside them. https://www.caribjournal.com/2025/06/01/caribbean-luxury-resort-turtle-season/

Two endangered leatherback turtles were freed from shark nets off Sydney's Northern Beaches in one day.

"At least 51 beaches in NSW are meshed between September and April to protect swimmers from sharks. Councils have called for shark nets to be replaced with alternatives that do not harm marine life... Around 90 per cent of the animals caught in nets were not target species.

Join me in speaking up for whale-safe fishing gear: tell NOAA Fisheries to support the widespread adoption of pop-up fishing gear, an alternative to commercial fishing gear that could save the lives of marine animals.

Speak Up for Whale-Safe Fishing Gear

Each year hundreds of thousands of sea creatures get caught in commercial fishing gear lines, which can starve, wound, suffocate and even drown them. Thankfully, there’s a solution that will protect whales and sea turtles from getting tangled: pop-up fishing gear. Take action.

You know what can help the Eastern Pacific's leatherback #seaturtle ? Expanding conservation investments beyond places like Costa Rica. There is potential for impact in El Salvador. At one beach there, there have been 3 nests in the first month of the season. #conservation #leatherback

I volunteered one summer with a sea turtle research center in Costa Rica—and my first encounter with a leatherback left me a little beat up.
