Have you met the Hawksbill sea turtle? This turtle is easy to tell apart from other turtles due to its long head that comes to a point, forming a beaklike mouth (hence, the name). #Hawksbill #Seaturtleweek #Conservation #Seaturtle #turtles #iliketurtles

🐢 52% of the world’s sea turtles have ingested plastic waste, mistaking it for food. A floating plastic bag looks like a jellyfish snack, and bottle caps can resemble shells—both favorites of sea turtles. Ditch single-use plastics and keep our oceans clean. #SeaTurtleWeek

Plastic affects sea turtles from the moment they hatch—getting stuck in beach debris—to adulthood, when they mistake plastic bags and balloons for food. Even tiny microplastics find their way into what they eat. #SeaTurtleWeek #WorldSeaTurtleDay #PlasticPollution

Mike Lee is wrong. His plan puts 250+ million acres of our national forests and public lands at risk of being sold to private developers. We hike, hunt, fish and explore these lands—our kids should have the chance to. We won't let them go without a fight. sc.org/BudgetBill
