Sea turtle Monitoring manual launch and introduction

Ocean and land are not separate systems, what happens in one influences the other. In this way, what happens on every Pacific island has an impact on the surrounding ocean. In the past, nutrients would flow from land to sea to keep reefs and seagrass beds healthy. Seabirds and turtles bring marine nutrients to land when they breed.

These are some dangers that impact all marine species, fishing, climate change, plastic pollution and coastal development.

Seabirds spend most of their lives at sea, but they need to come back to land every year to breed. Seabirds nest everywhere from high mountainous islands to low-lying atolls.

Sharks and rays have existed for over 400 million years. Some species are top predators. Others, like whale sharks, eat only plankton. They are all a crucial part of a balanced ecosystem

Whales and dolphins are very long-lived like human and only reproduce slowly. It takes many generations for their populations to grow.
