Answer:

Saving the Green Sea Turtle

Cheyanne Faith Ybarra

The green sea turtle, also known as the green turtle, black turtle, or Pacific green turtle, is a species of large sea turtle found in warm subtropical and tropical ocean waters. The green sea turtle is an endangered species and its population number decreases every year. Recent estimates show us that there are 1.5 million green sea turtles worldwide, and only 300,000 remaining in the Caribbean. Researchers estimate that 4,600 green sea turtles perish each year because of fishing gear, poachers, vessel strikes, loss of foraging habitat, entanglement in or ingestion of marine debris, and the harvesting of their eggs. We can stop the green sea turtles from going extinct by making fishing gear safe for the turtles, staying away from their nesting areas, protect them from poachers, stop the harvesting of their eggs, and keeping the oceans and beaches clean so there is nothing to strangle or poison them. These are just a few ways people can help save the green sea turtles from going extinct.

(I hope this helps you!)
