Plush Loggerhead Turtle

The most common turtle in the Mediterranean, loggerheads nest on beaches from Greece and Turkey toIsrael and Libya. Many of their nesting beaches are at risk from tourism development. They are less likely to be hunted for their meat or their shell but are often victims of accidental capture in fishing gear because they come into contact with fisheries. Sea turtles are an essential link in marine ecosystems and help maintain the health of coral reefs and seagrass beds. Approx. 12" L x 13.5" W
