Discovery Is Just The Beginning

Hi-Hello’s adventures celebrate the wonder of discovering our world—
but every adventure also reveals something worth protecting.

Sea turtles have traveled our oceans for millions of years. Today, they face growing threats
from plastic pollution, habitat loss, artificial light, accidental capture in fishing gear,
and other human impacts.

By connecting storytelling with real-world science and conservation, we hope to help young explorers understand these challenges—and discover how even small actions can make a difference.

Turtles in Trouble: The Challenges They Face

  • Plastic Pollution

    Plastic bags, discarded fishing line and other debris can injure turtles or be mistaken for food.

  • Habitat Under Pressure

    Coastal development and disturbed nesting and feeding habitats can reduce the safe places turtles depend on.

  • Lights After Dark

    Artificial lighting near nesting beaches can disorient hatchlings that naturally use light cues to find the ocean.

  • Human Threats

    Sea turtles can be harmed by accidental capture in fishing gear, illegal hunting and trade, and other human activities throughout their habitats.

Small Actions. Real Impact.

Protecting our oceans doesn't always require a big gesture. Small choices made every day can help create healthier beaches, cleaner water and safer habitats for sea turtles and other marine life.

Four Ways You Can Help

  • Use Less Plastic

    Choose reusable bottles, bags and containers when you can. Less single-use plastic means less waste that can reach rivers, beaches and the ocean.

  • Keep Beaches Clean

    Take everything you bring to the beach back with you—and pick up litter when it's safe to do so. Clean beaches create safer habitat for turtles and other wildlife.

  • Lights Out for Turtles

    Near nesting beaches, artificial light can confuse hatchlings trying to find the ocean. Keep beachfront lights low, shielded or off when possible.

  • Learn. Share. Inspire.

    Discover more about sea turtles and the challenges they face. Sharing what you learn can inspire others to care for the ocean too.

Every Adventure Can Make a Difference.
