One of a sea turtles favorite meal is jellyfish. Their thick skin, papillae (lining in their throats) and ability to close their eyes prevents them from getting stung.
Unfortunately plastic bags look very much like jellyfish when floating along the currents. Sea turtles mistake trash for their next meal and end up getting stuck or even drown themselves.
Thank goodness this turtle found a trash free meal 🙏🏽🐢💙
Ways to help prevent accidental trash consumption by marine animals are:
Pick up after yourself and others. It might not be your, trash but it is OUR planet 🌍
Participate in beach clean ups 🌊🗑♻️
Prevent using single use plastic 🙌🏽
Beautiful clip by @maalu_i ✨🤙🏽
