Sea Turtles Swim... I Love Turtles!
Take Action: Help Protect Sea Turtles!
Help petition the government to help loggerheads recover by formally listing them as an "endangered" species and creating more protections for turtle habitats in the Atlantic.

The two federal agencies charged with protecting loggerheads -- in land and on water -- are now accepting comments from the public on this important issue. Please speak out for turtles by sending a letter. Hurry - comments will only be accepted until May 5, 2008.

Each year hundreds of thousands of sea turtles are injured or killed in commercial fisheries. Humans are largely responsible for driving sea turtles to the brink of extinction, and it's up to us to save these majestic, ancient creatures by speaking out on their behalf -- before it's too late.

Extinction is forever. Voice your concern to the U.S. government, and ask President Bush to ensure commercial fishing operations don't threaten the survival of these prehistoric, majestic mariners.

  • This is magnificent! At 2:53 ... so beautiful!

    I'm a bit of a turtle fanatic ... admittedly. I have adopted a loggerhead (female) that has been tracked in the Florida Keys. She's lovely. I also care for dozens upon dozens of local freshwater (painted) turtles in their own environment.

    I'm ever-amazed by them ... and I also love that you captured their huge exhale upon exiting the water! SUPER footage here!

  • Wow! Such beautiful creatures and so peaceful. Thanks.

  • Mahalo for this video. The honu are loud when they bob their heads up and inhale fresh air. But their bodies are very efficient in using every bit of oxygen in their bloodstream so they can stay underwater from 15 minutes to even two hours before exhaling, depending on their metabolism.

  • That was amazing, mahalo for posting this.

  • Mahalo for this share
