  • Summary

  • In this episode of "Marine Biology in 5 Minutes," we kick off our 7-part series on sea turtles by diving into the life of the leatherback sea turtle. Known for their incredible size and unique adaptations, leatherbacks are true ocean wanderers, traveling vast distances across the globe. We'll explore their remarkable ability to thrive in diverse environments, the challenges they face from disrupted migratory corridors and bycatch, and the vital conservation efforts underway to protect them. Join us as we uncover what makes the leatherback sea turtle such an extraordinary and essential part of our oceans.
