Help Protect Leatherback Sea Turtles!

Leatherback sea turtles are the most endangered of the seven sea turtle species: 95% of the population has died in the last few decades. The Monterrey Bay Aquarium and NOAA are asking us to help them pass legislation that would protect 70,000 square miles of "critical ocean and beach habitat" that these giants need to feed and reproduce. To let your voice be heard, comment online via regulation.gov here, and of course, read more about these awesome reptiles at the Monterrey Bay Aquarium or get all the details and a map of the protected zone at the NOAA Leatherback Turtle webpage.
