Sea Turtles 101

Earlier today when I was inspecting the weather report on
NOAA.gov I saw a banner announcing that
today is Sea Turtle Week. Prior to that I didnt understand that there is a Sea Turtle Week. None-the-less it advised me of the time that I experienced sea turtles nesting in Costa Rica and it triggered me to look at some resources for teaching and learning about sea turtles. Heres what I discovered.

Sea Turtles 101 is a video from National Geographics 101 series. As you might expect, the video covers the fundamentals of the life and evolution of sea turtles, the number and kind of sea turtles, recreation of sea turtles, and the ecological challenges facing sea turtles today. While not extremely appealing, the video is helpful and short.
