Poor Polluted Sea Turtles





So today I read an article about increased amounts of pollution being found in the blood of male sea turtles. The article discusses a study that found at least 67 chemicals in the blood of these turtles, that can be traced back to pesticides and other industrial products. The study speculates that these turtles consume these chemicals through consuming smaller fish etc. that have been contaminated. It's a sad story, but if you want to check it out, here is the article: Migrating Sea Turtles Pick Up More Pollution
