Eco-friendly Private Yacht Charters with Your Boat Holiday: How to Save Sea Turtles

The matter of sea turtles rescue from “human calamities” (threats like entanglement in fishing gear, plastic, and marine debris and so on) unfortunately it is now well known. For sure, everyone knows how dangerous this situation is, but it seems that this problem is not taken seriously as it should, despite the important and numerous information campaigns launched to prevent the extinction of the sea turtle and strongly supported by associations, such as the WWF itself.
