Loggerhead Day — June 12! 🌊🐢 We honor the Loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta), a powerful ocean traveler facing threats from marine debris. Discarded nets, ropes, and waste can trap & kill these turtles. Protect our oceans—every action helps save our pawikan. #SeaTurtleWeek

W🐳O🐋R🐬L🦭D 🐟O🐠C🐡E🦈A🐙N🐚 🪸D🪼A🦈Y! All eyes on our blue planet this #WorldOceanDay. The ocean connects every coastline, every community, and every one of us. When people come together with a shared purpose, we can protect the waters that sustain life, strengthen communities, and inspire action across the globe. “Many small people, in many small places, doing many small things, can change the face of the world.” — African proverb “Many drops make a mighty ocean.” — Japanese proverb “One broomstick breaks easily, but the bundle is strong.” — Kenyan proverb This #WorldOceanDay, let’s stand together for a thriving ocean and a healthier future for our planet. Join the movement at WorldOceanDay.org P.S. A gentle reminder to drop the “s” — we share one interconnected ocean that unites us all. Thinking of it as one global ocean helps inspire the cooperation and collective action needed to protect it for future generations. #OceanClimateAction #WorldOceanDay2026

Sea turtle conservation isn't always boats and tropical waters. Often, it's long nights on dark beaches, searching for nesting turtles and protecting vulnerable nests. This footage comes from our partners, PAMaLi Indonesia.
