Profile Marine Organism: Leatherback Sea Turtles :

They are the only sea turtles that lack a hard shell, enabling them to dive great depths. As to their size, they grow to about 4 to 6 feet in length and weigh between 550 to 1545 pounds!! They feed exclusively on jellyfish (due to the fact that leatherbacks lack teeth). As to their range, because of their streamlined bodies and powerful flippers, leatherback sea turtles are able to swim thousands of miles over open ocean and against fast currents.

Unfortunately, this amazing and prehistoric-like animal is greatly endangered. About one out of thousand laid eggs live on to become a full-grown adult. Their greatest threat? Humans. So please, do your part in keeping this earth beautiful and ensuring that future generations can experience the unique and wondrous things we have been so blessed to experience.

Ocean Parcel: Currently? The Southern California Bight, especially the Channel Islands :)

How are you?
It was really fun meeting you in DC. It's too bad that you weren't with us in California, if would've been cool to talk to you there and get to know you more! You were very helpful in DC. Thank you.
Hope all is well!
Miss you. Keep in touch.

All the best,

Connor
