Endangered sea turtles
  • By Holly Miller

2
My thesis Statement
  • Sea turtles are getting crushed and polluted by
    shrimping boats this will cause them to go
    extinct

3
Oil Spills
  • The Deepwater Horizon oil spill
  • in the Gulf of Mexico
  • Marine animals and other fish also endangered
  • The BP-Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded
  • Dead Sea turtles had washed ashore.
  • Deepwater Horizon oil rig was immediately blamed
    for the deaths of the sea turtles.
  • most of the Dead Sea turtles washed up before
    the oil rig disaster

4
Browards Beaches
  • in Florida sea turtles are considered threatened
    because of the oil spills.
  • The leather back sea turtle is the most
    endangered sea turtle.
  • The green and Hawksbill sea turtles are also
    endangered
  • The population of Loggerhead sea turtles are
    threatened.
  • These sea turtles are on the browards beaches in
    Florida

Shrimping boats .
  • the people catch and drown the sea turtles under
    the shrimping nets.
  • shrimping boats cast there nets they land on top
    of sea turtles and they try to escape.
  • The nets have (TEDS) which are turtle excluder
    devices!
  • The TEDS help them escape.

7
diseases
  • There is a type of illness which is
    fibropapillona tumors

8
Conclusion ?
  • We all need to stop shrimping boats and the oil
    pollution in order to save the lives of sea
    turtles. If we dont make a change, then the sea
    turtles will suffer. If the oil companies dont
    stop polluting the environment, then it is
    telling the animals that oil workers and us just
    dont care about what is happening to their
    lives.
