Turtles in Danger

Sea turtles are reptiles that live in the ocean. Sea turtles have been on Earth
for over 100 million years. Now, they are almost extinct. They face many dangers,
especially from humans.
People take over turtles habitats by building hotels and houses on the beach.
This makes it difficult for mother turtles to find safe places to dig nests and lay their
eggs in the sand.
In some areas of the world, sea turtles are hunted by people. Their eggs are
eaten for food. Their shells are used to make jewelry and even guitars. Some suntan
lotions are made with turtle oil.
People can hurt sea turtles without even knowing it. Dumping garbage in the
ocean, like plastic bags and balloons, really hurts sea turtles. To a turtle, a floating
plastic bag or balloon can look like food. Sea turtles get very sick when they eat this
kind of trash.
What happen if sea turtles are extinct? The sea grasses would die off if there
are no sea turtles. This is because sea turtles eat the grass and act as grazing
animals that cut the grass short and help maintain the health of the sea grass beds.
Without sea turtles, dune plants will lose a major source of nutrients and
would not be strong enough to maintain the dunes, allowing beaches to wash away.
Dune plants use the nutrients from turtle eggs to grow and become stronger.

Vocabulary
dumping : to unload or empty out
sea grasses : a grass-like plant that lives in or close to the
sea
grazing : to feed on (growing grass)
dune plants : plant that grow on hill of sand near the sea
