On land at nesting sites, beach erosion and modification of beaches by humans have destroyed nesting sites. Humans and domestic animals in conjunction with natural predators feed on eggs. Lights from development confuse hatchlings, leading them away from the ocean, and thus subjecting them to greater predator mortality. At sea many are caught in fisherpersons' nets and drown. Adult sea turtles remain a human food item. Marine pollution in the form of plastic is confused with jellyfish, consumed, and blocks the digestive system, leading to starvation.
