A Message on the Ocean Life

Research has shown that sea turtles often act as a keystone species. Seagrass beds grazed by green sea turtles are more productive than those that aren't. Hawksbill turtles eat sponges, preventing them from out-competing slow-growing corals. Both of these grazing activities maintain species diversity and the natural balance of fragile marine ecosystems. 

If sea turtles go extinct, it will cause declines in all the species whose survival depends on healthy seagrass beds and coral reefs.

That means that many marine species that humans harvest would be lost.
