Yes, it's horrible. Even worse is the plastic trash in the oceans. Shortly put, it makes the turtles very sick when they digest it, and can kill them. An Australian survey showed that all the turtles they checked out had ingested plastic. And far too many sea turtles (and other bycatch) are caught in gillnets and longlines. Beaches are being so called developed and with the buildings and people there are less space for sea turtles, and they can be scared off (make a false crawl as it's called) so they don't get lay eggs, and the artificial lights can lead them in the wrong direction, away from the sea, where stress and dehydration will kill them. Habitat loss is a huge threat for a number of turtles.
