A loggerhead sea turtle swims inside a bucket before being released into the sea as part of Okinawa Churaumi Aquariums turtle release programme at Emerald beach in Motobu town, on Japans southern island of Okinawa July 8, 2007. Loggerhead turtle numbers are declining due to various reasons, including pollution, garbage, especially indigestible plastics goods, and the development of breakwaters and beach fronts that deprives the turtles of egg-laying grounds, Konomi Maeda, the turtle keeper at the aquarium said. Over 1, 700 turtles have been released over the past 17 years by the aquariums programme, which aims to increase understanding of the turtles and raise awareness of marine environment conservation.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a heartwarming moment as a loggerhead sea turtle swims inside a bucket before its release into the vast ocean. This touching scene took place at Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium's turtle release program on Emerald Beach in Motobu town, located on Japan's southern island of Okinawa. Dated July 8,2007, the image serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by these magnificent creatures. Loggerhead turtles are currently facing declining numbers due to various factors such as pollution and garbage, particularly non-biodegradable plastics that they mistakenly consume. Additionally, the development of breakwaters and beachfronts has deprived them of crucial egg-laying grounds. Konomi Maeda, the dedicated turtle keeper at the aquarium, expressed her concerns about these threats to their survival. Over the past 17 years, Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium's commendable program has released more than 1,700 turtles back into their natural habitat. The primary goal is to increase public understanding and awareness regarding marine environment conservation efforts while fostering empathy towards these incredible creatures. This powerful photograph captured by Yuriko Nakao for Reuters Images encapsulates both vulnerability and hope for loggerhead sea turtles. It reminds us of our responsibility to protect and preserve our oceans' delicate ecosystems for future generations.
