Pollution is killing Sea Turtles

Pollution
Pollution from things not being properly thrown away are getting into oceans and affecting the sea turtles and what they eat which will eventually cause them to die.

Oil spills and urban runoff of chemicals and fertilizers all contribute to water pollution. An estimated 36% of all marine pollution from oil comes through drains and rivers from cities.
