The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recently re-classified loggerhead sea turtles. Some are now considered “endangered” and others remain at the lesser “threatened” category.

Wildlife biologist and Georgia Sea Turtle Program coordinator Mark Dodd talked to GPB’s Joshua Stewart about this decision and how sea turtles are doing in Georgia.
