TEDx talk so one day met the Columbus
Zoo watching a show and the lady
presenting comes out with a turtle who
is sick she explains how Turtles help
fish in the ecosystem so I came to think
about it and found a surprising amount
of information and now I’m here to
explain first thing I figured out is
that we’re killing them commercial
fishing overfishing pollution and
climate change from humans are reasons
why sea turtle population numbers are
dropping predators hunt hang turtle
hatchlings are also good reasons the
effects of dying sea turtles first
hawksbill sea turtles without them reefs
sponges would take over the space that
the coral reef needs to grow second
green sea turtles help the environment
by grazing seagrass beds which in turn
its food web so without green sea
turtles the ocean nutrients and and the
food well will be damaged and
decomposing spots for for viruses and
bacteria would soon appear killing
everything one of the things mainly
killing Cedros besides our own stuff our
predators how pretty there’s her Turtles
as they dig up nests and eat the eggs
and hatchlings sure things that do this
our animals like foxes Falcons and other
reptiles and to make matters worse
turtle hatchlings don’t have a way of
defending themselves this is a problem
because they the hatchlings won’t grow
up to help the ocean and now I will say
how we can save sea turtles have you
ever heard of Oceana they’re a group of
people who try their hardest to to
protect and restore Earth’s oceans and
guess what they help sea turtles so I
highly recommend you visit their website
and figure and learn how to help the
overfishing commercial fishing and
general fishing we can do this by making
sure there are no turtles in the way
during commercial fishing swimming
through a pond to see if there are
turtle nests or turtles nearby during
fishing and just don’t fish all the time
finally predators if we could keep two
turtle hatching nests away from
predators we can ensure their safety and
not to mention their safety once they
get in the water
things like sharks foxes and other thing
and other animals like to eat turtles
and enter legs so if and this is a big
if we can keep sea turtles away from
these animals we can and make sure they
can do their job to help the ocean we
can do this fun idea I had we could make
the screens on Fox traps higher so that
that they can’t jump into the nests and
eat the eggs I mean – and I hope that
though we can help turtles in the ocean with this tedxtalk
