However, the greatest threats to the sea turtles' survival are the treats caused by humans. Conservationists are attempting to increase the survival rate by identifying the threats to the sea turtle by classifying things that humans can do to help the survival rate of the turtle and those things that hinder the survival rate. Humans can help the sea turtles survival rate by following the guidelines laid out by the Endangered Species Act. This act has identified human threats to the sea turtle, such as gill netting by fishermen, disturbing the nesting sites with artificial light, and harassing the sea turtles while nesting. To eliminate these dangers, laws have been passed to help the sea turtle.
Fishermen now have to follow the gill netting laws.
