Why It Matters:
June 8–16 marks Sea Turtle Week — a global celebration of sea turtles and a call to protect the oceans they call home. These incredible animals have been swimming Earth’s oceans for more than 100 million years, even outlasting the dinosaurs. But today, every single one of the 7 sea turtle species is threatened or endangered.

We're shining a light on these ancient mariners—sharing facts, stories, and ways you can help. From the tiny Kemp’s Ridley to the giant leatherback, each species plays a unique role in keeping our ocean ecosystems healthy.

🌿 Sea turtles help maintain seagrass beds.
🪸 They keep coral reefs in balance.
🐠 They support coastal ecosystems that humans—and countless marine species—depend on.

But they face serious threats:
🚫 Plastic pollution (they mistake bags for jellyfish!)
⚠️ Light pollution (which disorients hatchlings)
🚤 Boat strikes, habitat loss, climate change, and fishing gear entanglement.

There are 7 species of sea turtles, and all are listed as threatened or endangered. The small choices we make—like reducing single-use plastics, respecting nesting beaches, and supporting conservation groups—can help protect these creatures for generations to come. World Sea Turtle Day (June 16) honors the birthday of Dr. Archie Carr, a pioneer in sea turtle conservation. It’s a day to reflect, educate, and act.

By wearing this shirt, you’re helping spark conversation, raise awareness, and support ocean-friendly choices. A portion of proceeds supports coastal conservation efforts—because protecting what we love starts with small, visible steps. Let’s speak up for sea turtles this week—and every week. 💙🐢

Every purchase helps us spread awareness and give back to coastal conservation efforts.
