No. Sea turtles are omnivores, and many are almost exclusively carnivores, feeding on crustaceans and jellyfish. Manatees, on the other hand, are almost exclusively herbivores (plant eaters), although they can eat small fish.

Yes, both turtles and manatees are herbivores. Turtles primarily feed on aquatic plants, algae, and seagrass, while manatees primarily eat seagrasses and other aquatic plants. Their herbivorous diet is an important part of the ocean ecosystem.
