Whitney Crowder, an ocean turtle restoration organizer for Gumbo Limbo Nature Center in Boca Raton, Florida, posted a photograph of the expired turtle on Facebook, which became famous online. 

"They eat little scavangers that live in the drifting ocean growth, and they additionally eat green growth in vegetation, and these little bits of plastic are only sort of coasting, blended in the kelp, and of course, they're eating the plastic," Crowder told Today. "I believe they're simply attempting to eat to endure and not understanding that they're eating something unsafe." 

Crowder said in the Facebook post that all turtles who bite the dust on the coastline have plastic in their digestive organs. "It's washback season at Gumbo Limbo and frail, little turtles are cleaning up along the coastline requiring our assistance," Crowder said. "Lamentably, only one out of every odd washback endures. 100% of our washbacks that didn't make it had plastic in their intestinal tracts. This turtle, which would fit in the palm of your hand, had eaten 104 bits of plastic." 

Gumbo Limbo Nature Center, established in 1984, attempts to help infant turtles during washback season. Yet, handfuls or turtles have passed on this season alone, Today detailed. 

Emily Mirowski, an ocean turtle restoration right hand at the middle, disclosed to CNN she found the turtle powerless and skinny before it kicked the bucket. After its passing, Mirowski analyzed it and found that its stomach was brimming with plastic, running from inflatables to container marks. "It was extremely sad," she said. "Be that as it may, it's something we've seen for quite a long while and we're simply happy individuals are at long last observing this picture and ideally it's bringing issues to light." 

"I've been here since 2012 and each turtle that I've played out a necropsy on has had plastic or some likeness thereof," Crowder told Today. "It's overwhelming. You feel sad."
