The loggerhead sea turtles are a species of endangered aquatic turtles.
Unfortunately, every year 1000 of these beautiful turtles unfortunately die. Jim Balsiger is one researchers who is helping to identify threats to the the loggerhead sea turtle in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean, as well as solutions. It is very important for many areas of the Atlantic where these turtles are commonly found to be safe. This is because these turtles travel and nest in numerous areas thorough their life. A few threats imposed on them are lack of habitat due to fishing netters, as well as the down sizing of their environment. The recovery of the loggerhead sea turtle will take a longer period of time to recover than any other species of turtle. Researchers claim the reason for this is because they are always being threaten by fish netters and it takes them longer to mature than other turtles. I believe if scientists find where sea turtles commonly travel, they will have a greater success with helping to save them from extinction.
