Sea turtles, including species like the loggerhead and green sea turtle, begin their life journey as tiny hatchlings emerging from nests on sandy beaches. Upon hatching, they instinctively make their way toward the ocean, a perilous journey fraught with predators and other challenges. Hatchlings are usually no larger than a few inches in length and weigh just a few ounces. They face numerous threats, including predation by birds, crabs, and fish, as well as human impacts such as coastal development and pollution. Despite these challenges, sea turtles play a crucial role in marine ecosystems, and efforts to protect their nesting grounds and ocean habitats are essential for their survival.
