In just 10 days, the U.S. government will close the period for public comments on whether they should reclassify the loggerhead sea turtle on the Federal Endangered Species List to guarantee them stronger protections than they currently receive.
You can make the difference for loggerhead sea turtles by joining in the chorus of support for our nation's most well known sea turtle species.
Loggerhead sea turtles are the most abundant of the sea turtle species that reside in U.S. waters, but for decades they have been at risk from loss of nesting habitat, degradation of their marine habitats, and entanglement in fishing gear.
Now they also face the added struggle of waters polluted by millions of gallons of oil from the BP oil disaster.
Speak up today -- your voice can help achieve the goal of generating 20,000 messages nationwide in support of stronger protections for this species.
Loggerhead sea turtles are in dire need of stronger protections and your voice is needed to make the overwhelming public concern for this species clear to our public officials.
The deadline for action is fast approaching -- please help keep up the pressure to get loggerhead sea turtles the stronger protections they deserve.
Thanks for all that you do to protect wildlife!
Sincerely,
Sue Brown
