How important are sea turtles?

Sea turtles are more important to marine ecosystems and humans than many people think because they perform many important functions that help the sea remain balanced and highly biodiverse. Details are as follows:

🐢 1. Control other animal populations in the sea.

Many species of sea turtles eat jellyfish and other invertebrates.

→ It reduces the number of jellyfish from increasing too much, which if a jellyfish epidemic will have a direct impact on fisheries, tourism and humans.

🐢 2. Maintain coral reef health.

Green turtles eat kelp.

→ Make algae not rise over the reef

→ Helps corals grow well and houses many small fish, large fish

🐢 3. Maintain the abundance of seagrass.

The green turtle helps graze the seagrass.

→ Make the seagrass source abundant, which is the food source of thousands of manatees, fish and other organisms.

🐢 4. Add nutrients to coastal ecosystems.

Turtle eggs buried on the beach. Even some of them do not hatch.

→ It is a natural fertilizer that adds nutrients to coastal plants.

→ Helps keep the beach healthy. Reduce erosion.

🐢 5. As a measure of the health of the sea.

If the sea turtle population decreases, the sea is facing problems such as

• Pollution

• Overdose fisheries

• Habitat loss

🐢 6. Has economic and tourism value.

Many areas use sea turtle release or turtle watching activities as a source of income.

→ Promote community economy and raise conservation consciousness

🐢 7. Important to local cultures and beliefs.

Many communities view sea turtles as a symbol of fertility and tolerance.

→ As part of the history and coastal way of life.

... Read moreหลายคนถามว่า “วัฏจักรชีวิตของเต่าทะเล” เป็นยังไงบ้าง เราเลยสรุปเป็นภาพรวมแบบอ่านง่าย ๆ (และพอเข้าใจแล้วจะยิ่งเห็นเลยว่าเต่าทะเลกับโลกใบนี้เกี่ยวกันมากจริง ๆ) 1) วางไข่บนชายหาด เต่าทะเลตัวเมียจะขึ้นมาบนชายหาดเพื่อขุดหลุมวางไข่ แล้วกลบรังไว้ในทราย โดยมากทำตอนกลางคืนเพื่อลดความเสี่ยงจากผู้ล่าและความร้อน ชายหาดที่เงียบ แสงไฟน้อย และทรายเหมาะ ๆ จะช่วยให้โอกาสฟักสำเร็จสูงขึ้น 2) ระยะฟักไข่ ไข่จะฟักอยู่ใต้ทรายหลายสัปดาห์ อุณหภูมิของทรายมีผลต่อการพัฒนาและการรอดของลูกเต่า (และในหลายงานศึกษายังเชื่อมโยงกับสัดส่วนเพศด้วย) ช่วงนี้เองที่ “รังไข่” ที่ไม่ฟักเป็นตัวจะกลายเป็นเหมือนปุ๋ยธรรมชาติ เพิ่มสารอาหารให้ระบบนิเวศชายฝั่ง ช่วยให้ชายหาดแข็งแรงขึ้น 3) ลูกเต่าฟักตัวและคลานลงทะเล พอถึงเวลา ลูกเต่าจะพากันโผล่จากทรายและรีบคลานลงทะเล นี่คือช่วงเสี่ยงที่สุด เพราะต้องหลบทั้งนก ปู รวมถึงการหลงทิศจากแสงไฟริมชายหาด ถ้าไปเที่ยวทะเลแล้วเจอลูกเต่า อย่าจับ อย่าช่วยนำทางด้วยไฟฉายแรง ๆ ให้เว้นระยะและแจ้งเจ้าหน้าที่จะปลอดภัยกว่า 4) ช่วงวัยอ่อนในทะเล (ช่วง “ล่องลอย”) ลูกเต่าจะใช้ชีวิตในทะเลเปิด/ตามแนวกระแสน้ำ หลบซ่อนตามสาหร่ายลอยน้ำเพื่อหาอาหารและหลีกผู้ล่า ช่วงนี้มลพิษอย่าง “พลาสติก” อันตรายมาก เพราะเต่าอาจกินผิดคิดว่าเป็นแมงกะพรุน 5) วัยรุ่น–โตเต็มวัย ย้ายถิ่นหาอาหาร เมื่อโตขึ้น เต่าหลายชนิดจะย้ายมาอยู่แหล่งอาหารเฉพาะ เช่น แหล่งหญ้าทะเลหรือแนวปะการัง ตรงนี้เองที่เต่าช่วยระบบนิเวศชัดมาก: เต่าสีเขียวเล็มหญ้าทะเลให้แตกใหม่ ทำให้ทุ่งหญ้าทะเลอุดมสมบูรณ์ เป็นบ้านและอาหารของสิ่งมีชีวิตอีกมาก และยังช่วยคุมสาหร่ายไม่ให้ทับปะการัง 6) กลับมาผสมพันธุ์และวางไข่ซ้ำ เมื่อโตเต็มวัย เต่าจะกลับไปยังพื้นที่ผสมพันธุ์และชายหาดที่เหมาะสมเพื่อวางไข่อีกครั้ง วัฏจักรนี้เกิดซ้ำไปเรื่อย ๆ ทำให้เต่าทะเลถูกมองว่าเป็น “ตัวชี้วัดสุขภาพของทะเล” ถ้าจำนวนลดลง มักสะท้อนปัญหาอย่างมลพิษ การประมงเกินขนาด หรือการสูญเสียถิ่นอาศัย ทริคเล็ก ๆ ที่เราทำได้เวลาท่องเที่ยวทะเล: ลดใช้พลาสติก เก็บขยะกลับ หลีกเลี่ยงเปิดไฟสว่างบนชายหาดตอนกลางคืน และเลือกกิจกรรมดูเต่า/ปล่อยเต่าที่มีผู้เชี่ยวชาญดูแล จะได้ช่วยให้วัฏจักรชีวิตของเต่าทะเลเดินต่อได้จริง ๆ
