Ways to stop the decrease! - Nest Protections. - A turtle excluder device, a device that can track when a turlte is near, so sailors can make sure they don't catch turtles. - Lighting Ordinances. - Protect Migratorial Path.
Reasons for the threatening of the Loggerhead Sea Turtle: -Overharvesting of turtle products and food. -Plastic bags or other waste procucts look like Jelly fish, so they eat it and it gets stuck in their throat and die. -Nesting areas on beaches are threatened by recreational use and industrial development. -Inland lights can confuse their orientation.
