 protect and raise awareness about the endangered Pacific leatherback sea 
 turtles that swim off the coast of California. Last year, thanks to Turtle 
 Island’s efforts, Governor Jerry Brown signed Assembly Bill 1776 into law 
 and declared Oct. 15th an official celebratory day for these gentle ocean 
 giants. Turtle Island championed the awareness-raising bill, which was 
 sponsored by California Assemblymember Paul Fong. \n\nThis year marks the
