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.
