Meet Shirleen, a 900-pound leatherback turtle and an epic traveler. Thanks to satellite tracking by the Loggerhead Marinelife Center, we now know more about where she goes. Leatherbacks are endangered – threatened by vessel strikes, loss of nesting beach habitat, changing ocean conditions and getting inadvertently caught in fishing gear. They need our help but, meanwhile, #GoShirleen! To learn more about Shirleen's journey and the Loggerhead Marinelife Center, go to the link in our bio and select this post 🐢🐢 [Video description: Upbeat music without spoken audio plays as we watch the movements of Shirleen, a leatherback turtle represented by a yellow dot, on a map over the span of 907 days.] #Turtles OceaLife #OceanConservation #EndangeredSpecies
