Ways to help turtles
|
You can make a difference! Please help us save the sea turtles from extinction. Together we can make it.
There are many ways to help.
What each can do…
- Tell your friends about the Turtle Foundation.
- Avoid restaurants with turtle soup, turtle eggs or turtle meat on the menu. Report the relevant restaurants to the Turtle Foundation.
- Do not buy any products made from turtles such as tortoiseshell or similar souvenirs.
- Do not disturb nesting turtles by your presence, noise or lights.
- Avoid hotels that have destroyed beaches which have been used by the turtles for nesting.
- Divers: Don´t touch – riding turtles is no fun.
- Never toss cigarette butts or plastic bags into the sea. Turtles mistake plastic bags for jellyfish (the favorite dish of some species); cigarette butts swell in the stomach.
- Keep yourself informed and stay up-to-date for example by visiting the various internet pages about turtles.
