critically endangered sea turtles.

The largest oil spill in U.S. history in an area known to

support thousands of sea turtles, and cleanup operations

included in-situ burning of the surface oil.

STRP has recently joined advocacy efforts to ban the

free distribution of plastic bags by retail stores in the U.S.

It impacted by natural changes to habitats and natural

disasters such as the tsunami in December 2004 that swept

across the Indian Ocean.

STRP will continue to track the primary and emerging

threats to Pacific leatherback sea turtles and support

cooperation among fishermen, local community members,

national organizations and law enforcement officers around

the globe to protect leatherbacks. From this journal we can

contemplate that every person on the planet can make an

impact by supporting the work of the Sea Turtle Restoration

Project to ensure the continued survival of Pacific

leatherback sea turtles.
