Description

Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle - Kona, Hawaii

Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles love to haul out on the Kona Coast. Basking is rare among marine turtles, and has been observed in only a few populations in the Pacific. It is thought that they do this for thermoregulation, resting, and perhaps for protection from tiger sharks.

Exif: F Number: 7.1, Exposure Bias Value: -5.00, ExposureTime: 1/320 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 100, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 300.00 mm, Model: NIKON D700

Wonderful Catch we have turtles nesting along the Palm Beach Coast where the known nests are protected all summer. All have a rescue center right there just in case. They are a treat to see and so impressive in the water.
