To act fast we will need your help.For you to donate to<br />
ORP and adopt a turtle which you can donate the money<br />
for the ORP to use your money to help the turtles get<br />
better and raise awareness or just learn about them and<br />
do a beach cleanup.No matter what you do it all helps so it<br />
doesn't matter if all you do is pick up a piece of garbage<br />
every day it all counts. This technology is great and all<br />
but we don't have it in our hands everywhere so is this<br />
just a prediction or is this technology taking play right<br />
now<br />
<strong>The</strong> cool thing is that the technology mentioned below<br />
is being used now and is currently developing to be even<br />
better.So now let's move on to the main point, how does<br />
technology affect turtles?<br />
Technology these days is fantastic it will be able to help<br />
or harm badly turtles affecting them greatly so let's<br />
look at both sides.Good:modern technology can help<br />
turtles by tracking them throughout the ocean with<br />
satellites allowing you to see where they nest and lay<br />
their eggs after that you can protect that area. Another<br />
good way to help turtles with modern technology is that it<br />
allows making riskier surgeries possible by using lasers to<br />
cut off infected parts of the body quicker and less painfully<br />
and Let go of trapped turtles for example every year many<br />
turtles get trapped and drown in the trawl nets that<br />
shrimp catching boats drag across the ocean floor (thanks<br />
to humans again) but now we have developed a way to set<br />
them free.This happens by putting metal bars in the middle<br />
of the net while the shrimp flow right through them the<br />
turtles (and other big animals) get stuck so then are<br />
brought out through a flap in the trawl net.<br />
This technology can<br />
be found almost<br />
everywhere but<br />
mostly in the<br />
maldive because<br />
there there is an<br />
organization known<br />
as the ORP (Olive<br />
Ridley Project)<br />
whose goal is to<br />
save turtles.<strong>The</strong>y<br />
use a lot of<br />
technology such as<br />
satellite trackers to<br />
find and figure out<br />
the turtles swim path nesting location and hatching<br />
location and the doppler wich is a device used to hear a<br />
turtle's heart beat or more specifically the blood flow.With<br />
that said let's move on into the conclusion.<br />
“We need to work with nature not<br />
against it” (David Attenborough)
