Why we care:
Leatherback turtles are named for their shell, which is leather-like rather than hard, like other turtles. They are the largest sea turtle in the world, measuring as much as 6.5 feet in length and weighing as much as 1190 pounds. Leatherback turtles are a priority species for the WWF-Canada and are threatened from overharvesting and interactions with fisheries.
Worldwide, hundreds of thousands of marine turtles a year are accidentally caught. Marine turtles need to reach the surface to breathe, and therefore many drown once caught. Known as bycatch, this is a serious threat to leatherback turtles.
