Today is World Oceans Day. 🌊

We want to celebrate our world’s shared ocean and our personal connection to the sea, as well as to raise awareness about the crucial role the ocean plays in our lives and the important ways people can help protect it.

Leatherback sea turtles are fascinating - they have been swimming around the world's oceans for more than 90 million years. Read the story of Lally:

Jellies in the belly. Swim far sea turtle, swim far . . . 🐢🐢🐢

Join Lally the leatherback sea turtle from her birth on a tropical beach to her long migration north and then back again. During her journey, the sea turtle protects fish populations by feeding on jellyfish in the Atlantic Ocean.
