World Sea Turtle Day, celebrated on June 16th, is a special day dedicated to honoring one of the ocean’s most ancient and gentle creatures—the sea turtle. These amazing reptiles have been swimming through the oceans for more than 100 million years, long before humans walked the Earth. They play a very important role in keeping the ocean healthy, like balancing marine food chains and helping coral reefs grow. But sadly, today they face many dangers because of human activities. Pollution, especially plastic waste, fishing nets, habitat loss, and climate change are pushing many sea turtle species towards extinction. On this day, people all over the world come together to learn about sea turtles, spread awareness, and take action to protect them. Whether it’s by reducing plastic use, keeping beaches clean, or supporting conservation groups, every small effort counts. World Sea Turtle Day reminds us that the ocean is not just a beautiful part of nature—it is home to creatures that depend on us to care for it. Saving sea turtles means saving our future too.
