Loggerhead Turtle
Loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) are named for their large heads and strong jaws, which allow them to eat prey with hard shells, like big marine snails. They live throughout the world’s warm tropical and subtropical oceans. They live off-shore when they’re young, and migrate closer to the coastline as they mature. Despite the decline in their populations around the world there is hope for further protection of these turtles through fisheries gear innovations and collaborations between scientists and governments.
