Sea Turtle Protection Act

The Sea Turtle Protection Act is a law designed to conserve and safeguard sea turtles and their habitats. It restricts the capture, injury, or killing of sea turtles, especially during nesting and hatching seasons. The act also regulates activities like fishing and development to prevent accidental harm, such as bycatch or habitat destruction. Its goal is to ensure the survival of sea turtles, which are endangered or threatened species, by promoting responsible practices and protecting critical nesting beaches and migration routes. Ultimately, it helps maintain healthy sea turtle populations for environmental balance and biodiversity.
