Why are loggerheads important?

Answer 1

Loggerheads are important because they control the population of molluscs, crustaceans, fish, jellyfish, crabs, shrimp and Portuguese Man o' War and other small to medium-sized marine animals by eating them.

Answer 2

Loggerhead sea turtles are important for maintaining the health of marine ecosystems by controlling jellyfish populations and seagrass beds. They are also indicators of the health of ocean ecosystems as they are vulnerable to pollution, habitat destruction, and climate change. Additionally, their nesting sites support biodiversity and coastal ecosystem resilience.
