Hawksbill Turtles

Hawksbill Turtles are listed as, critically endangered
For 100 million years, they have traveled through tropical seas
looking for food, a play mate and a birth place that is great
as their gene of navigation, is their lifetime information

Sea Turtles help to maintain, the health of coral reefs
by eating the sponges, from the surfaces of reefs
They also eat jellyfish, with a narrow-pointed beak
to extract an exotic dish, so they don’t become weak

Human activities have taken their eggs, meat, skin, and shells
and being caught up in fishing gear, and nasty fishing hooks 
has depleted their numbers, all created by the human cartels
ana the high temperatures, depleting the male history books

Humans have to endanger turtles too sadly.
