Slide 8 - Turtle Diet
Slide 9 of 19

Slide 9 - Diet Variations

The "Diet Variations" slide divides sea turtle diets into herbivores/omnivores, which eat seagrasses, algae, and a plant-animal mix to support diverse habitats (e.g., green sea turtle), and carnivores that hunt jellyfish, fish, and insects (e.g., loggerhead sea turtle).

Diet Variations

Herbivores & OmnivoresCarnivores
Herbivores primarily eat seagrasses and algae. Omnivores consume a mix of plants and animals. This diet variation supports diverse turtle habitats. Example: Green sea turtle (herbivore).Carnivores prey on jellyfish, fish, and insects. They are active hunters in marine environments. Example: Loggerhead sea turtle targets jellyfish and crustaceans.

Slide 15 - Threats Timeline

The Threats Timeline slide outlines major dangers to sea turtles from the 1900s overharvesting for meat, shells, and eggs, to 1970s bycatch from industrial fishing. It continues with 2000s plastic pollution causing starvation and blockages, and today's climate-driven ocean warming, beach erosion, and invasive species.

Threats Timeline

1900s: Overharvesting Begins Massive hunting for meat, shells, and eggs decimates global turtle populations. 1970s: Bycatch Surge Industrial fishing gear unintentionally kills thousands of sea turtles yearly. 2000s: Plastic Pollution Crisis Turtles ingest plastics, causing starvation, blockages, and widespread mortality. Today: Climate and Invasives Warming oceans, beach erosion, and invasive species endanger habitats and nests.
