I'll go down fighting for sea turtles any day of the week 😉 (though you know I will acknowledge sharks play an important part in the ecosystem)

It's officially October & that means it's time to get into the spirit with a pumpkin carving contest! The winning pumpkin will be featured on our social media channels & will receive a small eco-prize pack. We can't wait to see what you all come up with! seeturtles.org/pumpkin-carvin…

What do sea turtles eat? Well, that depends upon the species. Some are omnivores, eating a variety of plants and animals, while the hawksbill and the leatherback are specialists, subsisting primarily of sponges (hawksbills) and jellyfish (leatherbacks). Video: Bethany Holtz

I’m super excited to be giving 2 talks this week at the 41st International Sea Turtle Symposium in Colombia! My first talk will be on Wednesday about my research and then Thursday I’ll be chatting about all things seaturtleweek! #ists41

I am so happy to have been able to share the research I have been working on with the international sea turtle community. Thanks to SEE Turtles for making my attendance at #ists41 this year possible. It's been a privilege to learn from amazing researchers & conservationists.

I will be live streaming from seaturtleweek on Instagram in 15min to talk about the amazing Sea Turtle Week program I run. Why should sharks have all the fun? 🐢🥳 #seaturtleweek #ists41
