What is the Ocean?

The ocean is the largest ecosystem on Earth. It is home to billions of organisms adapted to its extreme conditions: profound to total darkness, crushing pressures and cold temperatures.

Introduction

Sea turtle.

Sea turtles are the turtles that live in the world's oceans. There are seven species, and they are split into two families, the Dermochelyidae and the Cheloniidae. Leatherback sea turtles belong to the Dermochelyidae family, while the green sea turtles, flatback, loggerhead, hawkbills and ridleys are classified as Cheloniidae. All sea turtles are usually found in water, with most species only appearing on coastal beaches for egg laying.
