Summary

Description

The green sea turtle is the most common sea turtle in Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, where it feeds on marine plants in shallow coastal waters. While Hawai'i's green sea turtle population has increased in recent years, they are still threatened by things like entanglement in fishing gear and other marine debris. You can help these gentle creatures by keeping trash out of the ocean!
