The Kemp's Ridley sea turtle is the smallest of all sea turtles. Once abundant in the Gulf of Mexico, Kemp’s Ridley are the rarest species of sea turtles due to threats such as fisheries bycatch and nesting habitat degradation. In addition, some have been killed by consuming plastic debris. Your gift to save Kemp's Ridley sea turtles supports our work to remove 50,000 lbs. of litter from Texas waterways, which could end up in the Gulf of Mexico.
