Green sea turtles play an important role in maintaining healthy marine ecosystems. By grazing on seagrass and algae, they help support the balance of coastal habitats that are closely connected to coral reefs. Their presence ensures nutrient cycling between sea and shore, supports coral reef health, and provides essential, nutrient-rich nesting materials that stabilize coastal dunes. In St. Lucia, protecting sea turtles means protecting the broader ecosystems that support reef health, biodiversity, and ocean resilience. #greenseaturtle #stlucia #coralreef #reefmonitoring #marinebiodiversity protectouroceans oceanconservation
