FabFacts: Despite being the most common turtle species in the Mediterranean, Loggerheads are still declining throughout their range. The loss of breeding habitats continues along the Mediterranean coast and thousands are still caught accidentally in shrimp nets and on long lines. With the loss of each individual, 100 more species may also die. That’s the number of species that live on the shell of just one adult turtle. More info on the WWF pages.
