Ya this is a fake thing going back years. It's from 2018 and only 80 turtles have been counted. Not to take away from the cleanup but the numbers in this post has been misrepresented many times

I was wondering how the title could possibly be true. Sea turtles return to the beach they were born on to lay eggs, so if there haven't been any born there for decades, it's reasonable that there are very few turtles born there still alive.

You could possibly transfer some eggs to restart a beach turtle population

It's possible, but certainly not hundreds of thousands

not to mention it only appears cleaned but it is in fact dirtier than ever as scientists have managed to infuse all of the earth's water with carcinogenic "forever chemicals' which, by defnition, can not be cleaned...

Different types of clean though. You can’t argue that having tons of litter removed from the beach is useless.
