The answer depends on the age of the sea turtles in question, and the type of turtle, native area, etc. We know that certain types of sharks will attack and eat certain types of sea turtles, commonly loggerheads for the extended periods of time spent at the water's surface (to breathe), where they are more oblivious to the ominous presence the sharks lurking below them. The babies are generally more threatened by other creatures, though, which is part of the reason why so few survive to adulthood. Crabs and seabirds will eat baby sea turtles before they even make it into the surf. Once they're there, it's not like in Finding Nemo: baby turtles fend for themselves. They do not have parents to look after them, so at their small size, they're frequently eaten by other fish/crustaceans in the water.

But sadly, I think that a sea turtle's least favorite animal (and very rightly so) is the insipid, malevolent human. People eat sea turtles that they obtain as hatchlings, juveniles, adults, and eggs in farms (both legal and illegal), controversial hunting where legal, and of course illegal poaching. We also kill them with our garbage. Big culprits of inadvertent sea turtle casualties caused by humans include plastic bags (which sea turtles, most of whom have relatively poor eyesight, mistake for jellyfish and therefore ingest) and those plastic six-pack rings that come on soda cans, which turtles frequently eat or in which they become ensnared. A juvenile who becomes enmeshed in a six-pack ring will not be able to grow proportionately as the ring will often refuse to abrade. Electric lights also kill hatchlings, who often emerge from their eggs at night and instinctively follow the moon (or any baleful skyline masquerading as the moon, for that matter) toward the sea (or, if they follow artificial lights, they could end up in streets and other places that are unnatural and pernicious to them).

Hope this helps!
