There are 6 species of sea turtles found in the Atlantic: green turtle, leatherback turtle, hawksbill turtle, olive ridley turtle, loggerhead turtle, and Kemp's ridley turtle. These turtles face threats both on land and at sea from coastal development, pollution, poaching, fishing, boats, and marine debris. Volunteers are needed for projects around the world that help monitor and protect nesting sea turtles and their habitats.
