In honor of Dr. Archie Carr, the "Father of Sea Turtles" we celebrate World Sea Turtle Day!
Dr Archie Carr was a revolutionary man working with sea turtles on the east coast of Florida.
Today we honor him and show our love for the most amazing reptiles soaring through ocean waves.
Today we remember we must work to preserve them and their oceans for the future generations to admire also.
Today we celebrate Sea Turtles! .

Ever wondered why they call it surfgrass? Taquito, one of our local #greenseaturtles was happy to demonstrate today!♀️♂️ Taquito rips #worldseaturtleday |
Today we SHELL-ebrate all 7 species of sea turtles that occur globally. I hope you have enjoyed my posts and stories this week highlighting sea turtles. I also hope you have checked out www.seaturtleweek.com (link in my bio) to learn more about turtles and the threats they face.
Ways we can all help: reducing use of plastics, participating in beach clean ups and marine debris removal events, choosing sustainably-sourced seafoods, reducing our carbon footprint, and supporting organizations dedicated to the protection of sea turtles and their nesting beaches.
Incremental change is change. Small gains are gains. We can all make a difference. We are better together. #seaturtleweek #archiecarr
To end #SeaTurtleWeek, we're thrilled to celebrate #WorldSeaTurtleDay! Today, we focus on the importance of these beautiful creatures and what we can all do to help them survive.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Remember to always clean up your beach, whether that's picking up three pieces of trash every time you go or doing an organized beach cleanup with a group on the weekend. Continue to avoid the use of plastics in your life and begin to replace plastics with environmentally friendly products. And be sure to always recycle when possible!⠀⠀
Happy World Sea Turtle Day! Share with us what you're doing to help in the comments.⠀⠀
