Ever Wonder Adventure has launched a new awareness campaign highlighting the devastating impact of ocean plastic pollution on dwindling sea turtle populations.
—
The latest campaign comes in response to alarming new statistics showing that many populations of sea turtles are now critically endangered. With plastic pollution as one of the biggest threats to all sea turtle species, Ever Wonder Adventure aims to increase awareness and spur immediate action to reduce plastic waste.

As a keystone species, sea turtles maintain the balance of marine ecosystems through their natural behaviors. Notable examples include leatherback turtles, which feed on jellyfish and prevent devastating population blooms, and adult green sea turtles, which graze on seagrass, keeping seagrass beds healthy and benefiting other species that rely on them. Ever Wonder Adventure’s campaign notes that sea turtles are also important for sandy beaches, as their nesting behavior creates dune ecosystems that promote biodiversity and prevent shoreline erosion; their eggs also supply the environment with nutrients that would be otherwise inaccessible by beach-dwelling organisms.
However, modern sea turtle populations are threatened by human activity, and sources such as the UNEP Report, the Sea Turtle Rescue Alliance, and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) note that plastic pollution is of particular concern. According to the WWF, 52% of the world’s turtles have consumed plastic waste after mistaking it for prey; in 22% of these cases, the plastic ruptured the animal’s organs or caused internal blockages that prevented the turtles from feeding. Other forms of plastic waste, such as abandoned fishing nets, can cause entanglement, often leading to drowning.
Because of their vital role in marine ecosystems, many conservation groups, including the International Marine Conservation Institute, emphasize that the loss of sea turtles would result in cascading effects on ocean life. To prevent catastrophic extinction events, Ever Wonder Adventure’s campaign urges readers to switch to reusable water bottles and shopping bags and participate in coastal cleanup events. Readers can also help sea turtle populations indirectly by choosing seafood options that are harvested using sustainable, turtle-safe methods.
In addition, the campaign encourages readers to join conservation efforts and advocate for more stringent conservation strategies from local governments. By taking immediate action, Ever Wonder Adventure says that the public will be able to preserve sea turtle populations and ensure marine ecosystems remain in balance.
