Why Canada Matters to the World's Largest Sea Turtle

from How To Protect The Ocean · host Andrew Lewin - Marine Biologist & Science Communicator

Leatherback sea turtles are usually associated with warm tropical beaches, but some of the world's largest sea turtles travel thousands of kilometers to cold Canadian waters each year. Why? Jellyfish. In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, Andrew Lewin explains why Atlantic Canada is an important feeding destination for leatherback sea turtles, how cold water ecosystems support huge bursts of life, and why these northern waters matter more than many people realize.
