Yet in less than a century, exploitation and habitat destruction have devastated their numbers. The U.S. Postal Service celebrates the protection of these intriguing creatures with six stamps, featuring species dependent on U.S. coastal waters for foraging and migratory habitats during various stages of their lives. All six turtles are listed and protected under the Endangered Species Act.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe stamps showcase a gray-green Kemp’s ridley (Doug Perrine, photographer); a black and white leatherback (Rowan Byrne, photographer); an olive ridley (Solvin Zankl, photographer); a green sea turtle (David B. Fleetham, photographer); a mottled orange-brown loggerhead (James D. Watt, photographer); and a brownish-yellow hawksbill (Claudio Contreras, photographer).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe selvage features another hawksbill sea turtle (Reinhard Dirscherl, photographer). To the right of this photo are the names of the species written in upper-case, white letters. At the lower left of each stamp, the common name of the species is printed vertically upward in white. The issuance title “PROTECT SEA TURTLES” appears in large, white type against a dark blue background to the left of the stamps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProtect Sea Turtles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003estamps are being issued as Forever® stamps in panes of 18.
