World Turtle Day 2009

Tomorrow is World Turtle Day, so we encourage you to celebrate by going to SEE a turtle (the sea kind or otherwise), make plans to SEE turtles (find some ideas HERE)  or contribute your support to your local turtle group (they all need your help).


Tomorrow is also Carl Safina's birthday, so we encourage you to celebrate by going to SEE Carl.  Just kidding.  But you can drop him well wishes via his BLOG and thank him for his tremendous, longstanding writing, thinking and advocacy on behalf of sea turtles and their habitat.


In addition, Oceana has dedicated their BLOG to World Turtle Day!


World Turtle Day was created by American Tortoise Rescue as an annual observance to help people celebrate and protect turtles and tortoises and their disappearing habitats around the world.


One last thought to get you inspired for WTD09: "Am I not turtley enough for the turtle club?"
