Explanation:

The word <em>every</em> should be capitalized because it is the first word in the sentence and the first word is always capitalized.

<em>Dad </em>should not be capitalized as it comes after a possessive pronoun being <em>my</em>.

<em>Sea Turtles</em> as well as the <em>Atlantic Ocean</em> should be capitalized as you are referring to them directly.
