Hawaiian Green Turtle or Honu (Chelonia mydas) DDZ_2159

            Green Sea Turtle, Punaluu Black Sand Beach Park, Big Island of Hawa11. Green Sea Turtles, or Honu in the Hawaiian language, migrate long distances between feeding sites and nesting sites; some swim more than 2,600 kilometers (1,600 miles) to reach their spawning grounds. Mature turtles often return to the exact beach from which they hatched. Green turtles belonging to the distinct Hawaiian subpopulation nest at the protected French Frigate Shoals some 800 kilometers (500 miles) west of the Hawaiian Islands. In the United States, the Honu is classified as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act, rendering it a federal offense for unauthorized personnel to come within 10 feet of, molest, capture, or kill an individual turtle. Because of this law, the Hawaiian subpopulation has made a remarkable comeback.
