Hawaii is one of the best places to observe sea turtles in their natural habitat. Hawaiian green sea turtles have come a long way from a past when they were taken in large numbers for food. Now all sea turtles are protected by law and their numbers have rebounded. Hawaii is unique in that our Hawaiian green sea turtles bask on our beaches, both male and female honu enjoy sharing our love for sunbathing. This is only possible because strict regulations give them plenty of space with a hands-off policy. Hawaii Island is also home to a large nesting population of hawksbill turtles. I enjoy every chance I can get to get to be in the water with these amazing beautiful animals.
