2. Have a Green Heart and Save
the Green Sea Turtles
Major threats to sea turtles in the United States include, but are
not limited to: destruction and alteration of nesting and
foraging habitats; incidental capture in commercial and
recreational fisheries; entanglement in marine debris; and
vessel strikes. To reduce the incidental capture of sea turtles
in commercial fisheries, NOAA Fisheries has enacted
regulations to restrict certain U.S. commercial fishing gears
(gillnets, long lines, pound nets, and trawls) that have
known, significant by catch of sea turtles. To effective
address all threats to marine turtles, NOAA Fisheries and the
USFWS have developed recovery plans to direct research
and management efforts for sea turtle species.
Therefore, conservation of sea turtles is important. You can help
by not littering near oceans and joining different
organizations that promote clean beaches and mating
between a female and male turtle.

3. Earth Day
Earth day is a day that is intended to inspire awareness and
appreciation for the Earth’s natural environment. Earth day
was founded by the United States Senator
Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in first held on
April 22, 1970. While the first Earth Day was focused on the
United States, an organization was launched by Denis Hayes,
who was the original national coordinator in 1970, took it
international in 1990 and organized events in 141 nations.
Earth day is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day
Network, and is celebrated in more than 175 countries every
year. April 22 corresponds to spring in the Northeastern
Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere.
Numerous communities celebrate Earth Week, and entire
week of activities focused on environmental issues. World
Environmental Day, celebrated on June 5 in a different
nation every year, remains the principle United Nations
environmental observance.
