Sea turtles play a large and important role in the environment and to human society! Ecologically, sea turtles are predators, prey, and competitors in many ecosystems and play a role in bringing stability to marine food webs. By nesting on land, sea turtles are also an important link between terrestrial and marine ecosystems because the nutrients that sea turtles leave on the beach, in the form of eggshells, provides extra nutrients for beach vegetation to grow. Without these nutrients the beach would be a less productive place. Sea turtles are also important prey for other organisms both on land and at sea.

Raising awareness is important, but it’s not enough! We all need to take action to help turn the tide. We worked with our science partners to create subject specific post cards that explain the top beneficial actions you can take on behalf of the species or ecosystem you’re supporting with your purchase. Shipped with every order, these cards are informative, beautiful and ready for a stamp so you can share it with a friend. 

Our team of salty science communicators hit the library and dug up everything you need to know about the species or ecosystem you’re supporting with your purchase. From past history and current status to future conservation challenges and specific ways you can get more involved, each series takes a deep dive into the causes we support so you can stay informed.

Each series consists of around 8 parts, emailed to you each week after your order is delivered.  And fear not, you can unsubscribe at any time, but we promise you won’t want to ;-) 

5% of sales from your purchase are donated to high-impact research and education organizations that are experts in their specific fields. We encourage you to learn more about these amazing organizations here. Purchases from this collection donate to the Florida State University Marine Turtle Research, Ecology and Conservation Group.
