Photo by B. Mertens during the Hawaii travel trip. The green sea turtle is one of three species living off the coast of Hawaii. The other two are the leatherneck and the hawksbill sea turtle. Like other sea turtles, green sea turtles migrate long distances between feeding grounds and hatching beaches. Many islands worldwide are known as Turtle Island due to green sea turtles nesting on their beaches. Females crawl out on beaches, dig nests and lay eggs during the night. Later, hatchlings emerge and scramble into the water. Those that reach maturity may live to eighty years in the wild.
