Sea Turtle Week

Did you know you can report tortoiseshell when you see it?

Products made from sea turtle shell, often from hawksbill sea turtle, are illegal to sell or bring into most countries. If you spot it for sale, don’t buy it. You can politely let the seller know you don’t support it, but don’t argue.

Instead, help stop the trade by reporting it. Share where you saw it, how much was for sale, pricing, and any details (or a link if it’s online). Even partial info helps. Also, take photos if possible.

You can stay anonymous, and your name will never be used publicly.
