Its World Environment Day and Roebuck Bay Working Group are celebrating turtles, ancient reptiles that evolved 220 million years ago and are seen in Roebuck Bay. The Hawkesbill turtle, like all other turtles, is battling, with the world’s oceans changing drastically over the last 500 years. Two proactive actions that can help turtle survival is to plant natives (don’t need fertiliser) in coastal gardens and use cloth bags for shopping (plastics can cause ‘floating symdrome’). Thanks Ricki Coughlan for the exceptional infographic of the Hawksbill turtle (Redtail Interpretive Nature Signs).
Roebuck Bay Working Group is comprised of Traditional Owners and government, local community, conservation groups and business. We work collaboratively to solve issues, raise awareness and encourage research and monitoring which supports responsible management and protection of Roebuck Bay.
