Jellyfish's New Impersonators

Floating plastic bags looks similar to a jelly fish.
With a leatherback's poor vision, a delicious jellyfish and a plastic bag look the same in the ocean.
Jelly fish is known as the Leatherback turtle's favourite food. But these days, the ocean is polluted with Plastic Bags. The bad thing is that, it kills marines life. Due to the similar physical appearance as the jelly fish, sea turtles oftentimes mistaken it as their favourite food and suffocate once consuming it. Leatherback turtles have been around for 100 million years, but if changes are not made for these turtles, they could be wiped out from the Pacific Ocean in just ten more years!



Animals get tangled in them causing them to suffocate and eventually die.

Let's Stop Using Plastic Bags! 
Save the animals, save our planet!
