Hundreds of newly hatched sea turtles that were released on a beach in Playa Junquillal, on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast, quickly made their way into the sea. All seven species of sea turtles are considered endangered, some critically.

These species of turtles and about 6 other species are considered endangered because of global warming. The sand is too hot for the eggs to hatch, they then just become boiled eggs. These sea turtles need temperatures between 83-85 degrees Fahrenheit in order to hatch. They are diminishing in numbers year after year. These sea turtles feed on coral reefs which are being damaged by global warming..warmer temperature seas and acidic seas. We aren't the only ones who being affected by global warming but the other species and the world around us.
