- Sea turtles provide natural ecological control over jellyfish populations. Leatherback sea turtles eat only jellyfish, tunicates, and other soft-bodied animals. They eat their body weight (on average, 800 to 900 pounds) in jellyfish every day. Sadly, plastic resembles jellyfish floating in the water, so it is becoming more and more common for many of these amazing creatures to die from ingesting plastic.
