4ocean Partnerships | FAU Marine Research Lab and the Sea Turtles We’re Saving Together

4ocean partnered with Florida Atlantic University to advance sea turtle rescue and release efforts. Here’s what we accomplished together. Learn more at 4ocean.com/pag...
Florida’s beaches are one of the most important sea turtle habitats in the world, especially for loggerhead sea turtles. About 90% of all loggerhead sea turtles in the Atlantic hatch here. It’s the largest and most densely nested area in the world. What happens in Florida matters because it drives all the trends for sea turtles in the Atlantic and determines the future of the entire species.
“One of the key things we’re trying to find out is whether we have enough males and females hatching to supply future generations,” says Dr. Jeanette Wyneken, an FAU Biological Sciences professor. “Sea turtles are [sic] animals that have environmentally determined sex. The incubation conditions in the nest determine whether a turtle is a boy or a girl. Cooler temperatures produce more males, hotter temperatures produce more girls. In 2015, 2016, and 2017, we had 100% female production.
“So what’s contributing to hotter nests is hotter, drier conditions. One or two summers of [those conditions] are just variations in weather. Multiple years of that, that’s changes in climate. We’re looking at climate change and, because we’ve been measuring these conditions since 2002 and have been monitoring those increasing frequencies of hot, dry conditions that produce these 100% female nests, we’re starting to better understand what kinds of things help mitigate that.
“Partnering with 4ocean made all the difference in the world. We have to buy the components for food. We have to make sure we keep their tanks clean. We have to occasionally replace tanks. Buying the bracelets made it possible for us to feed the turtles, clean the turtles, [and] give them a good place to live. All of that is possible because of 4ocean.”
You can help make a difference for sea turtles and support the critical research happening at FAU by purchasing a 4ocean Sea Turtle Bracelet. Get the bracelet here: 4ocean.com/pro...

By the way I love all of your bracelets and your water bottles have stayed strong though my long and eventful school days!!! You guys are the best and don’t ever stop helping the ocean!!!!! 😊

There's a lot of trash polluting the ocean and we're happy to be working towards creating the change it needs. It's great to hear we can count on you to make waves about us and ocean conservation, and you can count on us too. 😎

Thank you so much 4ocean! My bracelets are still holding strong like you guys. I love the colour fading because I have been wearing them for a while and I haven't taken them off since I got them.

[@4Ocean]

Thank you for making the ocean healthier.

[@mannarsaund]

4ocean No problem Guys.

[@Hannah0208]

Me and my friends in third grade wrote a persuasive letter to teachers at the school, it was about no more plastic straws because most everyone used them when they were school lunch or home lunch. When the teachers read the letter, they told the school to stop using plastic straws! A lot of us stop! And were very happy

[@4Ocean]

That's what happens when everyone works together to help make a difference. We're happy to hear you guys helped create a lifestyle change in your school. 🤙

i am 11 years old. I was looking into which college i wanted to go to and what i want to do when i’m older. I brought up the idea of that doing something with recycling and ocean life. I started to study more. Suddenly this add popped up on my screen that was 4ocean. I automatically know where i’m going to work and continue a good carrier when i’m doing older!💜

Just curious, cause knowing this is the only way my mom will let me buy a bracelet, how much percent of the profit 4ocean makes goes to the people that collaborate with?

[@edward2030]

Ao when you clean the rubbish from the ocean where does it go??😂

[@4Ocean]

Once we collect the trash, everything we collect is brought back to our facility where it's carefully sorted and prepared to be recycled. We do use the water bottles and plastic bottles (rPET) for our bracelets. Anything that can’t be recycled, we're storing for a new future project.
