Sea turtles are marine reptiles found in oceans around the world, known for their distinctive hard shells and long lifespans. There are seven species of sea turtles, including the loggerhead, green, and leatherback, each playing a crucial role in marine ecosystems by maintaining the health of seagrass beds and coral reefs. These ancient creatures face numerous threats, such as habitat loss, pollution, and illegal hunting, leading to significant conservation efforts globally.
