Sea Turtle Conservation in Florida is hard and it's about to get harder with the onset of increased intensity of hurricanes and increased sea level rise.
Sea Turtle Conservation has been successful over the past few decades with protection policies being implemented along Florida coastlines. Still, hurricane events and increased sea level rise can wipe out nests in one storm killing hundreds of thousands of sea turtles.
In this episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Andrew Lord dives into the challenges facing sea turtle conservation in Florida, particularly in light of climate change. Discover how increasing hurricane intensity and rising sea levels impact these iconic marine creatures and what we can do to help protect them.
Join us as we celebrate the success stories of sea turtle conservation efforts over the past few decades, including the rise in hatchling numbers due to dedicated beach cleanups and protective measures. Andrew shares a personal story about his family's experience with sea turtle nesting and the importance of community involvement in conservation.
Learn about the crucial role sea turtles play in marine ecosystems and the ripple effects their decline could have on ocean health. We discuss actionable steps you can take to support sea turtle conservation, from donating to local organizations to advocating for climate action.
