Sea turtles are one of the earth's most ancient creatures. The seven species that
can be found today have been around for over 110 million years, since the time of the
dinosaurs. They are large, air-breathing reptiles that inhabit tropical and subtropical
seas throughout the world. Today, all sea turtles found in waters of the United States
are federally listed as endangered. It is illegal to harm, or in any way interfere with, a
sea turtle or its eggs. Only an estimated one in one thousand to ten thousand will
survive to adulthood. The natural obstacles faced by young and adult sea turtles are
staggering, but it is the increasing threats caused by humans that are driving them to
extinction. Some of the most prevalent human threats include harvest for consumption
and illegal sea turtle shell trade, commercial fishing, marine pollution and debris,
artificial lighting, and beach nourishment and dredging.
Natural predators endanger the sea turtle population. As eggs and hatchlings
there is an increase of risk to marine turtles as a result of their natural predators.
Raccoons, boars, birds, coyotes, sharks, crabs, ants, dogs, and armadillo all have a role
in the natural food chain as predators of marine turtles. It appears that up to 95% of
nests [are] predated, primarily by raccoonsand armadillos (Engeman, Martin,
Woolard, Stahl, Pelizza, Duffiney, & Constantin, 2012, p. 230). Monitoring predation is
vital to the preservation of marine turtles. Predator control was identified as the most
important conservation tool for marine turtle reproduction (Engeman et al., 2012).
Controlling or limiting nest predation will substantially increase the marine turtle
population. Even with controlling the natural threats of sea turtles, the actions of
humans cause greater harm for these animals.

Humans are assisting with the decline of the marine turtle population in multiple
ways. Harvesting for consumption is one way humans are playing a role in their demise.
In some countries, humans eat raw turtle eggs or meat. In some areas, especially
Central America and Asia, turtle meat is a viable source of protein and a typical source
of nourishment. In some countries, marine turtle eggs are used as an aphrodisiac.
Various parts of the turtle are used for different reasons. Oil from turtles has been used
to cure wooden boats in the Persian Gulf and turtle blood is used to treat ailments in
India (Campbell, 2003). Also, the shell of the sea turtle is traded and utilized for
medicinal purposes. Regardless of the laws against this trade, individuals around the
world continue to use the shell to make jewelry and other luxury items. As a result, the
hawksbill, a specific type of sea turtle, population has decreased by ninety percent over
the past century (Sea Turtle Conservancy, 2011). All around the world, various parts
of the turtle are being used. For some it is a part of their culture and rituals while others
are choosing to break the law and utilize the turtle as a source of income. Either way,
the marine turtle population has and is suffering greatly.
More than eight million sea turtles have died in the past two decades after being
accidentally caught by fishing vessels; a global analysis suggests (Stokstad, 2010).
Sea turtles have become bycatch from longline fishing, shrimp trawling, and gill netting.
Longline fishing deploys thousands of baited hooks on hundreds of lines that can total
up to sixty miles long. Sea turtles are routinely caught on these hooks, sometimes
drowning as the lines are suspended underwater or facing the prospect of being
released alive but with a hook embedded in their jaws, throats, or stomachs. Gill netting
uses floating nets made of mesh designed to capture fish. When sea turtles swim into
7/28/2019 Final Turtle Talk Unit
4/35
Page 4
the nets, their flippers get caught in the mesh which causes them to drown. Shrimp
trawling drags large nets behind boats. The nets remain underwater for long periods of
time, and when the sea turtles get swept into the nets they drown. Several solutions
have been implemented to reduce this bycatch. In the United States, the federal
government worked with the commercial shrimp trawl industry to develop Turtle
Excluder Devices (TEDs). TEDs consist of a trap door that allows a turtle to swim out of
a shrimp net just before it enters the rear bag where the shrimp accumulate.
Unfortunately, not all fishermen comply with the law, and sea turtles continue to drown
in shrimp nets. Time and area closures have been instituted in various gill net fisheries
to protect sea turtles, but they are often hard to enforce. A shift by longline fleets from
"J" hooks to circle hooks has helped to reduce the number and severity of sea turtle
interactions with longline gear. Even with these solutions being implemented, sea turtle
bycatch continues, due in large part to the inability to enforce the rules worldwide.
Marine pollution can have serious impacts on both marine turtles and the food
they eat. Research suggests that a disease now killing many sea turtles,
fibropapillomas, may be linked to pollution in the oceans and in near-shore waters (Sea
Turtle Conservancy, 2011). Fibropapilloma is a disease that causes cauliflower-shaped
tumors on external soft parts and internal organs of a sea turtle. When pollution enters
the water, it contaminates and kills aquatic plant and animal life that is often food for sea
turtles (Spotila, 2004). Oil spills, urban runoff from chemicals, fertilizers and petroleum
all contribute to water pollution. Over 100 million marine animals are also killed each
year due to marine debris in the ocean (Sea Turtle Conservancy, 2011). Plastic bags,
bottles, balloons, degraded buoys, packaging materials and food wrappers all contribute
7/28/2019 Final Turtle Talk Unit
5/35
Page 5
to the debris. Turtles may also become entangled in discarded or lost fishing gear
including steel and monofilament line, synthetic and natural rope, plastic onion sacks
and discarded plastic netting materials. Education is vital to helping solve the marine
pollution and debris problems. The public can get involved in this issue by: following
local codes enforcing fertilizer bans near waterways, reducing oil consumption by
carpooling, using public transportation or driving energy-efficient vehicles, and speaking
out against off shore drilling. They may also reduce, reuse and recycle plastics, use
reusable cloth bags instead of plastic bags when shopping, and by not littering.
Beach nourishment and dredging also have negative impacts on sea turtles.
Beach nourishment consists of pumping, trucking or otherwise depositing sand on a
beach to replace what has been lost to erosion (Spotila, 2004). It can impact sea turtles
if the sand is too compacted for turtles to nest in or if the sand imported is drastically
different from native beach sediments, thereby potentially affecting nest-site selection,
digging behavior, incubation temperature and the moisture content of nests. If
renourishment is allowed to continue during nesting season, nests can also be buried
far beneath the surface or run over by heavy machinery. Dredging can cause direct
threats to sea turtles by incidental capture and death.
Artificial lighting is another threat to sea turtles. Lighting from seaside
condominiums, houses, and hotels discourage females from nesting. If a female fails to
nest after multiple false crawls, she will resort to less-than-optimal nesting spots or
deposit her eggs in the ocean. Lighting near the shore also can cause hatchlings to
become disoriented and wander inland. Hatchlings orient toward the naturally
increased level of light over water, so they readily crawl toward the much brighter
7/28/2019 Final Turtle Talk Unit
6/35
Page 6
artificial lights from the near shore buildings and streets, where they may be eaten, run
over, or drown in swimming pools (Spotila, 2004). Some solutions include turning off
lights visible on nesting beaches or using special fixtures to shield the lights from the
beach. Tinting windows that face the beach may also help (Sea Turtle Conservancy,
2011).
As previously stated, there are a multitude of reasons for the demise of the sea
turtle population. However since being listed as endangered, more research and laws
have been put into place to protect these animals. Various organizations are attempting
to educate and promote awareness of this growing dilemma. While attempting to solve
this issue, the sea turtle population is now being tracked, which provides insight as to
what threats are causing the most havoc for them. Archie Carr, known as the father of
sea turtle biology and conservation, was the first to successfully track sea turtles using
radio transmitters in 1978. Tracking has now expanded into using satellite telemetry,
enabling researchers to see what is harming the turtles, where they are migrating to,
how long they are living, and what other dangers there are for them. Researchers track
turtles in the open ocean after attaching a Platform Terminal Transmitter (PTT) to the
back of a sea turtle. The PTT sends a signal full of information to an orbiting satellite
each time the turtle surfaces for air. The satellite re-transmits the data to a receiving
station on earth, which researchers can access through their computer. Generally, after
about a year the transmitters quit working and fall safely off the turtle (Sea Turtle
Conservancy, 2011).
Humans have the overall power of the preservation of sea turtles. It is choices
made by humans that can change the future of this animal. The power and choices lie in
7/28/2019 Final Turtle Talk Unit

the hands of people and they must choose to abide by laws and help preserve this
wondrous species.

CONNECTION TO THE THEMEWhat is POWER? You and your partner need to operationalize your own definition of
power. (2-4 paragraphs)The word POWER has numerous meanings. The definition of power that we will
be applying to our topic is: 1. Ability to act or produce an effect, and 2. Possession of
control, authority, or influence over others. When humans have power they have the
ability to cause or prevent an action, or to make things happen. How they use their
power will determine if there is a positive or negative outcome.
People have the discretion to act or not act. This gives them great power and
authority. Many do not realize the consequences of their actions until something
negative happens. This is the case with endangered species such as the sea turtle.
The harmful effects of human decisions have endangered these species. With the
power that humans hold, and demand, marine turtles should not be threatened. There is
more than enough ways that we could use our power in helpful ways as opposed to
destructive ways. Humans just have to take the initiative to change and channel their
power to do something worthwhile.
How is the concept of POWER depicted by your topic? Thoroughly explore how
POWER is depicted in your topic, especially in relation to your definition. (approximately
2 pages)Power is related to our Sea Turtle topic in numerous ways. We are asking the
students if they have the power to help save marine turtles from the brink of extinction.
This correlates with our definition by connecting to their ability to act or produce an
effect, or to help influence others. The students will come to realize that actions of
7/28/2019 Final Turtle Talk Unit
10/35
Page 10
humans can be powerful enough to help preserve or continue to destroy the sea turtle
population.In the real world problem of harvest for consumption and illegal sea turtle shell
trade, people would have to choose to not consume the turtle meat and eggs or buy the
jewelry or other valuables made from the turtle shell. Humans have the power to make
these personal decisions. The commercial fishing industry has the power to change the
way they fish in order to reduce bycatch of marine turtles. They would have to make
simple changes such as changing the types of hooks they use and having Turtle
Excluder Devices (TEDs) installed on all shrimp nets.
The marine pollution and debris issue can be greatly affected by the power of
people. If humans would not use plastics, this would have a huge impact on pollution
and debris. They could also decide to do their part in reducing oil consumption and
chemical use. The problem of artificial lighting along nesting beaches could easily be
solved by the power of humans to choose turtle safe lighting, red lights that emit a very
narrow portion of the visible light spectrum, which is less intrusive to nesting sea turtles
and hatchlings. Humans also have the power to limit beach nourishment and dredging
projects.When it comes to saving the sea turtle population, humans seem to have all the
control in their hands. This unit will begin to teach young scholars about the problem in
hopes of changing the way sea turtles are being treated. If we are able to get humans to
recognize that they hold the power of sea turtle preservation then sea turtles have a
chance to live for several years to come. If we are unable to get humans to recognize
the power they are abusing, then the sea turtle population will become extinct.

Regardless, humans are powerful creatures and often demand that power
remains in their hands. We have to realize that our power is at the mercy of others and
we have to channel our power to do powerful things, such as save lives. As Francis
Bacon stated, knowledge is power; therefore our students will gain knowledge and
power to change the way people view and treat marine turtles. Our students will be able
to teach others how they can preserve this species by utilizing the power they hold as a
human.

Flip cameras will be used to record the public service announcements that the
students will create. Windows Movie Maker will be utilized to edit and publish the public
service announcement. They will be developing a public service announcement to
inform others of the various threats sea turtles are facing and to persuade others to
recognize the power humans have in sea turtle conservancy. They will create, film, and
edit the public service announcements to share with fellow peers, teachers, and
parents. The final product will be uploaded to Youtube, Edmodo, and our website. By
sharing their public service announcement more people will be aware of this issue and
will be encouraged to help solve this real world problem. By promoting awareness
through media, these students will persuade others to help the sea turtle population.Various resources will be used to instruct, show, practice, and respond to the unit
topic of sea turtle preservation. We will use videos to introduce and explore various
subtopics within the unit. These videos will be viewed within the classroom and later
discussed or commented on through the use of Edmodo. These videos will include
examples of public service announcements and a way to present content. Students will
have the opportunity to respond to these videos and other class discussions. Students
will explore various websites to learn more about the threats on the sea turtle population
and they will use this information to build their argument for their public service
announcement. Teachers will use these websites to support the learning. Students will
be engaged in a tracking project to understand how tracking marine turtles will help with
the preservation. The tracking projects will utilize various resources including, but not
limited to, Google Earth. All sites and resources used will be available on our website.

This will be the central location for students to find the links they need to research and
work on the activities throughout the week.The technology tools and resources we chose are easily accessible for teachers
and students. We chose resources that students would be able to access at home so
the research and curiosity can continue outside the classroom. We plan to provide
students with a list of websites and resources so their personal research and inquiry can
begin. We believe our use of technology would benefit the students and help them
understand the power humans have on marine turtles. When students create their
public service announcement they are able to hold the power in their hands to promote
awareness and educate more people on this alarming dilemma these animals are
facing. As famously quoted, Knowledge is power, and our students will gain this
knowledge through the use of technology. Research will be of utmost importance in this
unit and it is crucial that students understand the significance of spreading their new
knowledge with others in hopes of correcting the real world problem.

Prey - Predator Game:
http://www.exploringnature.org/graphics/foodwebs/pred-prey%20game.pdf- Adaptedfrom this link.Students will be designated as prey or predator. They will be given animal name badgesto display what animal they are. Around the classroom, will be designated spots such asnests, open ocean, feeding places, and boats. These are the spots the turtles are goingto attempt to travel to get food, to lay eggs, to migrate, etc. The predators areattempting to eat or harm the turtles. The turtles job is to get to a safe place withoutbeing harmed by a predator. If they are tagged by a predator, then they become apredator. If the turtles get to the safe place without being touched by a predator, thenone predator becomes a turtle. The game is ended when students are all prey or allpredators. The winner is then determined by what all students have become.
Link to Prezi:http://prezi.com/fme0jpzemftf/present/?auth_key=pirjjst&follow=rvbqc929u5xw
