Turtles - A Danger of Extinction



Most adult loggerhead turtles nest every other year or every third year, laying several clutches of eggs during a nesting season. Only a small percentage of hatchlings survive to maturity! Loggerhead turtles have existed on Earth for millions of years with little serious threat to their survival - until recently. Pollution, lighted beaches, loss of nesting habitat, drowning in shrimp nets and other fishing gear have contributed to the drastic decline of these and other sea turtles.

Turtles used to lay eggs on Maltese Beaches till the 1980's. Now because all beaches are taken for human leisure they have no place to lay their eggs anymore in Malta. :(
