Just because I seem silent, doesn't mean that I'm not speaking. I am the wise and old of the earth. The soul of the planet.

Reposted from @disneyvacationclub Sea turtles may travel thousands of miles between the beaches where they nest and their feeding grounds at sea. Raya, a loggerhead sea turtle recently released near Disney’s Vero Beach Resort by the Sea Turtle Conservancy @conserveturtles and @disneyconservation Team Wildlife, has already swam nearly 200 miles in the last week alone as part of the 14th annual Tour de Turtles. While swimming in this year’s migration marathon, Raya is raising awareness of the threat of artificial light pollution on turtle-nesting beaches. Follow Raya’s travels at TourDeTurtles.org, and help improve beaches for sea turtles by choosing sea turtle-friendly lighting and keeping lights off along the beach at night. #DisneyConservation #DisneyTeamWildlife #DisneyConservationFund #TourdeTurtles https://www.instagram.com/p/CSUNePGDRmA/?utm_medium=tumblr

Posted @withregram • @disneyconservation An "illuminating" idea! With support from the #DisneyConservationFund, Dr. Jesse Senko with @arizonastateuniversity has developed the world's first solar-powered fishing net. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Fishing gear is a serious threat for sea turtles, as these air-breathing reptiles become easily entangled in and harmed by nets. The illuminated net, complete with lighted solar-powered buoys, has reduced accidental sea turtle bycatch in Baja by 68%, without reducing target fish catch. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ We are proud to support this collaborative program, which includes engineering partners in ASU's Solar Power Laboratory and Baja fishers dedicated to reducing their impacts to sea turtles. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Swipe to see the team monitoring their nets in the water and releasing a hawksbill sea turtle that was caught in a non-illuminated net.⁣⁣ ⁣ For more on this story see the link in our bio.⁣ 👆 ⁣⁣ #DisneyConservation #BigBlueWorld #SeaTurtles #ArizonaStateUniversity https://www.instagram.com/p/CASzzbtBhEo/?igshid=jtr4jzemzwix
