Read the following passage carefully.
Sea turtles are in danger of becoming extinct. These turtles face both natural threats and human-caused threats. Predators such as raccoons, birds, crabs and ants feed on the sea turtle’s eggs and their hatchlings. These threats are not the main reason why the sea turtle population has plummeted towards extinction.
Humans consume the eggs and meat of these turtles. Sea turtles become entangled in the nets of fishermen. They also become entangled in marine debris which passengers throw overboard boats. Not only do they become entangled in this debris but they also eat the debris and die. Plastic bags, bottles, balloons and pellets are all deadly meals for sea turtles .Artificial lighting from houses and hotels that humans build along the beach discourages females from nesting and causes hatchlings to wander inland where they often die.
