This year, we are helping to organise \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.seaturtleweek.com\/\">Sea Turtle Week<\/a>\u201d which ends on World Sea Turtle Day, and every day will feature a different species and threat that they face.&gt;\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>Celebrating and protecting sea turtles is important to both human communities and the habitats where turtles live. Hawksbill sea turtles help coral reefs by controlling sea sponges that compete with coral for space. Green turtles graze seagrass beds, which helps keep them healthy. Nutrients that sea turtles bring from the ocean to the beach helps support coastal vegetation. And turtle hatchlings and eggs provide important sources of food to many predators. They also benefit humans; many communities rely on turtle tourism for income and jobs, a number of indigenous communities celebrate them, and seeing a sea turtle in the wild is an emotional experience that can change people\u2019s lives.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_34463\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34463\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-34463\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.travindy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_4875-1.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Celebrating World Sea Turtle Day: interview with Brad Nahill, Co-Founder &amp; President, SEE Turtles\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travindy.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_4875-1.jpg 5184w, https:\/\/travindy.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_4875-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travindy.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_4875-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travindy.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_4875-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34463\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sea turtle shell bracelets for sale in Mirador Catarina, Nicaragua, \u00a9Hal Brindley<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<p><strong>CHI: Plastic, pollution, and poaching are some very real and serious threats to sea turtles. Can you educate our readers about these issues? Are there any common misconceptions you would like to take this opportunity to address?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>BRAD: Sure! Plastic is a huge and growing issue for sea turtles, as they interact with it during their whole lives. The mothers and hatchlings crawl through polluted beaches to nest and head to the ocean. They confuse plastic bags for jellyfish and can get caught in plastic like six pack rings. One of the biggest plastic threats is ghost nets \u2013discarded fishing nets that keep catching fish and animals long after they are lost to fishing boats. One misconception is around straws; they are certainly wasteful in most cases, but generally they are not a major threat to sea turtles.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>Even though it is illegal in most places at this point, many people continue to consume sea turtle eggs and meat and use their shells for things like jewellery to sell to tourists. There is a misconception in many places that the eggs are a natural aphrodisiac though the science doesn\u2019t support that. What we do as an organisation is to try to benefit the local communities through tourism and supporting efforts of local organisations to protect their beaches. The good news is that after decades of efforts by millions of people and hundreds of organisations, turtle numbers are starting to recover in many places around the world.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_34460\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34460\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-34460\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.travindy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/6227-watermarked.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Celebrating World Sea Turtle Day: interview with Brad Nahill, Co-Founder &amp; President, SEE Turtles\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travindy.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/6227-watermarked.jpg 5184w, https:\/\/travindy.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/6227-watermarked-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travindy.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/6227-watermarked-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travindy.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/6227-watermarked-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34460\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Olive Ridley sea turtle hatchlings at Refugio Vida Silvestre La Flor.

What should travellers be more conscious of in particular?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>BRAD: There are many great ways that travellers and the travel industry can support sea turtle conservation. One of the best ways is to help reduce demand for turtleshell products. We have nearly 100 tourism companies participating in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tooraretowear.org\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Too Rare To Wear<\/a> campaign, which has free resources to educate travelers about these products and how to recognize and avoid them.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>Other ways the travel industry and travellers can help protect sea turtles is to reduce plastic waste, by using reusable products, recycling where possible, and participating in cleanup activities while traveling. Reducing the carbon footprint of travel is also a good way to support sea turtles; climate change is a major threat to these animals and all animals in the ocean. We also have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seaturtletour.com\/turtle-watching-tips\">set of tips for travellers<\/a> to help protect turtles in and out of the water, for example by not touching them and giving them space underwater and not taking flash photos at night on the nesting beaches.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>And of course a great way to support sea turtles while travelling is to join a conservation tour that offers hands-on opportunities while supporting conservation efforts. We work with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seaturtletour.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">number of operators to offer trips<\/a> all around Latin America to help with these animals.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>CHI: There are so many choices on the market &#8211; do you have any favourite products and places that are especially turtle-friendly?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>BRAD: Our Billion Baby Turtles program has a bunch of great <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seeturtles.org\/billion-baby-turtles-sponsors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">sponsors<\/a> that are eco-friendly and support sea turtle conservation. Each of them saves one or more hatchlings with every purchase. Some of the products, like the Billion Baby Turtles bracelet from Pura Vida Bracelets have raised tens of thousands of dollars. Singer Vance Joy sells a tote bag with a design he drew that has also raised thousands to save hatchlings. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>CHI: What can we do to support SEE Turtles and your conservation efforts?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>BRAD: In addition to joining a tour or our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tooraretowear.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Too Rare To Wear<\/a> campaign that we\u2019ve already mentioned, we also have a program where people can help save sea turtle hatchlings, 10 for every $1 donated through our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seeturtles.org\/billion-baby-turtles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Billion Baby Turtles<\/a> campaign.
