Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtles

Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtles are named after Mr Kemp, a Florida fisherman, who discovered them.

They grow just 2 feet long and weighing less than 100 pounds and, being the smallest of the 7 species of sea turtles, they are vulnerable to just about everything:

• Discarded fishing nets which they get caught in
• Plastic bags which they eat
• The effects of climate change, eroding beaches where they nest and destroying the gender mix of their species - hotter sand temperatures mean eggs hatch as females not males.

That said their story is one of success!

Numbers of Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtles dropped to around 200 females in the 1980s and since then have recovered to possibly as many as 8,500 today, although figures vary widely!

Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtles are critically endangered, but they show what can be achieved.
