| | | | Notes: | Green turtles (Chelonia mydas) are large sea turtles belonging to the family Cheloniidae. The range of the species extends throughout tropical and subtropical seas around the world, with two distinct populations in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Green turtles migrate long distances between their chosen feeding sites and the beaches from where they hatched. Some C. mydas are known to swim distances of greater than 2,600 kilometers to reach their spawning grounds. Mature turtles will often return to the same exact beach from which they hatched from.
As a species recognized as endangered by the IUCN and CITES, Chelonia mydas is protected from exploitation in most countries worldwide. It is illegal to collect, harm or kill individual turtles. In addition, many countries have implemented various laws and ordinances to protect individual turtles and turtle nesting areas within their jurisdiction. | | | | Camera: | Canon A610 with Underwater Housing WPDC90 (Digital)
