WEBINAR | Conservation Connect: Sea Turtles & the Last Straw for Single-Use Plastics
In 2015, a team led by Christine Figgener, Ph.D., encountered a sea turtle during a research trip in Costa Rica. The turtle had a 10–12 cm plastic straw lodged in its nostril. After the team removed it, the video of the rescue sparked a backlash against single-use plastics. In our latest Conservation Connect webinar, Chris speaks about the threats to these endangered reptiles, conservation initiatives to protect sea turtles, and how the viral rescue video gave her a platform to share ocean conservation priorities with the global community.
