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)
