Holden Beach Turtle Watch warns against releasing balloons:
No matter where you live you can help our turtles. Please don't release balloons into the air....what goes up, must come down...somewhere. These photos were taken on Holden Beach. Not only are they litter, but when floating in the ocean, they can look like jellyfish, a favorite food of sea turtles. This could be deadly to a sea turtle.

warmer oceans are conductive to jellyfish reproduction and cyanobacteria can generally handle harsher water chemistry. Their natural predators are endangered of course.

I just enjoyed this warm fuzzy story about an effort to #rescue #SeaTurtles and figured others might enjoy it too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S70PKRI4nwY

Happy #SeaTurtleWeek! Check out this short vid about the seven types of #seaturtles and how important they are to our ecosystem. They’ve been around for more than 100 million years — one species even coexisted with dinosaurs! They are truly amazing creatures. 🐢💚🐢 Big thanks to all the #seaturtle rescuers and hospitals out there! https://youtu.be/71T3xvqc7Qs

Panama gives legal rights to sea turtles. And the rights of nature move forward another step.
Attended a presentation about #SeaTurtles today, where the presenter talked about #LoggerheadSeaTurtles having big muscles but tiny brains in their skulls.
It was pointed out that they are good at crunching through hard-shelled invertebrates, but not good at doing taxes.
I chuckled.
(This was mentioned to note that they're not good at distinguishing jellyfish from plastic bags.)

as part of #worldturtleday I absolutely recommend you to live a release turtle experience with absolutely respect and awareness, I've done it twice with my unforgettable sea turtles: "dante" and "andromeda". 🐢🐢🤗
