Slow Your Boat Eco Tote Bag | Organic Cotton Sea Turtle Awareness Tote | Let Sea Turtles Float – Turtley Yours Eco Tote Bag

Make waves for marine life — not with your boat. This eco-friendly tote bag features our “Slow, Slow, Slow Your Boat – Let Sea Turtles Float” design to help spread awareness and save lives. Whether you’re beach-bound, boating, or just headed to the market, this durable organic cotton bag makes a statement worth carrying.

Why It Matters:
Sea turtles, dolphins, and manatees are often injured or killed by fast-moving boats. Boat strikes are one of the leading causes of injury and death for sea turtles (and manatees and dolphins) in coastal waters. These animals often surface for air or rest just below the water, making them especially vulnerable to fast moving boats. Slowing down in turtle zones gives both turtles and boaters a better chance to avoid collisions. Your bag helps spread the word — and your love for our oceans — one step (or sail) at a time.

Plastic pollution is one of the greatest threats to our oceans—and single-use plastic bags are a major contributor. Every year, millions of these bags end up in waterways and coastal habitats, where they can entangle marine animals or be mistaken for food by sea turtles, dolphins, and seabirds.

Sea turtles, in particular, are at risk. A plastic bag floating in the water can look strikingly similar to a jellyfish—their favorite snack. Ingesting plastic can cause internal injuries, blockages, and even death. It’s a heartbreaking yet preventable problem.

Switching to reusable totes is one of the simplest and most impactful choices we can make. By choosing this organic cotton bag, you’re not just saying no to plastic—you’re choosing sustainability, responsibility, and advocacy with every grocery run or beach day. This tote carries more than just your essentials—it carries your values. It’s a reminder that small changes lead to big waves when it comes to conservation.
