Turtles are my favorite...
Here are some ways that summer beachgoers can help sea turtles, which have been swimming in the world's oceans for 110 million years:
* Recycle. Sea turtles often mistake plastic bags for food.
* Pick up trash. Sea turtles can swallow it, fatally blocking their digestive systems, or become tangled in debris and drown.
* Keep vehicles off beaches. Sea turtle nests are often hidden in the sand and easily crushed.
