Sea Turtles - Loggerhead Babies - Fight for Life

Sea Turtles - Loggerhead Babies - Fight for Life by Grace Brown 
Original artwork is a highly detailed traditional dot painting.

Sea turtles are under threat and in decline the world over. Of the seven species of marine turtles, six occur in Australian waters

The largest sea turtles – Loggerheads – have been recorded measuring up to 280cm in length and weighing up to 450kg!

Sea turtles live in a range of coastal habitats, with most species’ hatchlings preferring the open sea, where they’re exposed to fewer predators before their shells have a chance to harden.

Perhaps one of the most intriguing habits of marine turtles is the long journeys they make across oceans to mate and then deposit their eggs on specific beaches – sometimes the very same beaches where their lives began.

Turtles are a favoured food source for Indigenous communities and therefore appear as totems and in Dreamtime stories and Creation myths. Indigenous people respect the food resources that sustain them and they celebrate the turtle in rituals that aim to increase the bounty of the species.
