Threat: Turtles are an endangered species as a result of rubbish, particularly plastic, thrown into the sea.  Turtles mistake plastic for jellyfish and having eaten the plastic then die. Sea turtles are listed on the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species as either "endangered" or "critically endangered". Marine pollution is both directly and indirectly harmful to sea turtles as a consequence of deterioration of their natural habitats. Poisins that threaten turtles include toxic metals, PCBs, fertilizers, untreated waste, chemicals, and a variety of petroleum products. Oil spills are particularly dangerous to sea turtles.
