"This is the Mongolue, saltwater turtle. It is bigger than the freshwater turtle. Their favorite food is seaweed. That is why it is so
important not to pollute the ocean with plastic. Clean up your plastic! These turtles think it's food. Respect the turtle, take the nets away. The sea is their home, they need their home just like we need ours."
