World Sea Turtle Day, on June 16th, celebrates sea turtles, the amazing ocean animals. It's a special day to learn about and help protect these creatures because they face many dangers like pollution and fishing nets. Sea turtles have been around since dinosaur times and play a big role in ocean health by eating jellyfish and keeping seagrass beds healthy. People all over the world do fun activities like beach cleanups and sharing turtle facts to show how important it is to keep sea turtles safe. By caring for turtles, we help our oceans and the planet thrive.
