Sea turtles have faced major challenges in recent decades, including pollution, plastics, beach developments, and confusing light sources. But, biologists say sea turtle populations are bouncing back. With nesting season well underway, we’re listening to a special episode of Florida Matters produced by WUSF News in Tampa with host Robin Sussingham.
In it, she talks with experts about how sea turtles are faring and efforts to protect them here in Florida, including how efforts by sea turtle monitoring groups have contributed to populations of some species increasing dramatically over the past few decades, and why people should care about protecting these large marine animals.
