For over hundreds of millions of years, sea turtles and their ancestors have swum in the vast expanses of the ocean. They have undergone a number of evolutionary changes, leading to speciation and sub-speciation. However, in the past few decades, some of the most notable forces driving the genetic variance and population decline have been global warming and anthropogenic impact ranging from large-scale poaching, collecting turtle eggs for food, besides dumping trash including plastic waste into the ocean. This leads to severe detrimental effects in the sea turtle population, driving them to extinction. This research focusses on the forces causing the decline in sea turtle population, the necessity for the global conservation efforts along with its successes and failures, followed by an in-depth analysis of the modern advances in detection and recognition of sea turtles, involving Machine Learning and Computer Vision systems, aiding the conservation efforts.

海龟保护的需要和现状以及相关计算机视觉进展的调查

数亿年来，海龟及其祖先一直在广阔的海洋中游弋。它们经历了许多进化变化，导致了物种形成和亚物种形成。然而，在过去的几十年里，推动遗传变异和人口下降的一些最显着的力量是全球变暖和人为影响，包括大规模偷猎、收集海龟蛋作为食物，以及向海洋倾倒包括塑料垃圾在内的垃圾。 . 这会对海龟种群造成严重的不利影响，导致它们灭绝。这项研究的重点是导致海龟数量下降的力量，全球保护工作的必要性及其成功和失败，
