    In 1947 it was reported that over 40,000 Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles were nesting along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico and today only 200 Kemp Ridley’s remain on those grounds, making these sea turtles one of the most endangered animals in the United States. When I was younger I remember visiting South Padre Island and seeing holes a long the shore line with little eggs inside them, I also remember this man who drove up and down the beach looking for those eggs in a golf cart. I asked my mom “Why is this man taking away these eggs, won’t the momma be sad?” my mom then told me that these were in fact the eggs of the Kemp’s Ridley. I had no idea how that was relevant, I was six…

By consuming sponges, they play an important role in the reef community, It’s estimated that one turtle can consume over 1,000 pounds of sponge per year. Without the turtles, sponges can overgrow corals and suffocate reefs. With a narrow head and jaws shaped like a beak, the hawksbill can get food from crevices in coral reefs. Sponges, anemones, squid and shrimp are all what they mainly feed on as part of their diet.…

The Hawksbill Sea Turtle has a lifespan of about 30 to 50 years. The turtle is an omnivore and consumes sea grasses, sea urchins, barnacles, small animals, and their favorite food, sponges (National Wildlife Federation). Regardless of their lifespan and diet, these turtles are dying quicker than normal because of the human race. According to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the Hawksbill Sea Turtle is classified as critically endangered (Plos One). This means that the turtle has become especially susceptible to extinction worldwide. The Hawksbill Sea Turtle is found in the tropical waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. Nevertheless, this sea turtle stays away from deep waters and would rather stay near the coastlines where sponges and nesting sites are close by (National Geographic). This way they are able to…

    The most pressing human-related threat to manatees is injury and death resulting from collisions with watercraft. In 2000, at least 78 manatees were killed by watercraft. Another important threat is loss of reliable warm water habitats that allow manatees to survive the cold in winter. Natural springs are threatened by increased demands for water supply and aging power plants may need to be replaced. Deregulation of the power industry may also result in less reliable man-made sources of warm water. Sea grass and other aquatic foods that manatees depend on are affected by water pollution and sometimes direct…

    Pakistan has been blessed with a coastline that extends up to 1,050 km (650 mi). Of these 250 km fall in Sindh province and 800 km in Baluchistan.

The problem is compounded by the fact that the Makran coast, in Baluchistan consists of steep mountains that rise to an elevation of up to 1,500 m and deserted, secluded beaches.
