Last Voyage of the Ancient Mariner?
Agardy T. 1992. Last Voyage of the Ancient Mariner?. BBC Wildlife. :30 - 37
Protected by their shells and perfectly adapted to a life spent mostly at sea, the turtles watched the dinosaurs come and go, and have been serenely going about their business ever since. But, as Tundi Agardy explains, survival skills honed over millennia may not be enough to prevent today's turtles from being washed up on a tide of plastic flotsam and monofilament nets, and a general wave of human indifference to the health of the oceans.
