I am doing the sea turtle, which by the name you know it lives in the sea. The sea turtle is a reptile. The sea turtles are sucking in the plastic and it causing difficulty to digest their food. They are also having trouble breathing which is causing them to die. They have found latex balloons, five different types of strings, nine types of soft plastics, four different types of hard plastics, a piece of carpet-like material, and two tar balls to boot, these were all found in one sea turtle. It totaled 74 different foreign objects. Since all these items are being found in the ocean, the turtle is sucking them in when they eat. There is a week in Honolulu, Hawaii that is held just for the sea turtles. If nothing is done to help get the plastic to stop being put in the ocean, then the sea turtles are going to start dying off.
