Green Sea Turtle

Sea Life Park's Honu Conservation Program has released more than 17,000 turtle hatchlings into the wild and provided ongoing education about honu and their important role in reef ecosystems. Seeing a recent shift in population status from Endangered to Threatened, the Hawaiian green sea turtle is one of the few sea turtle populations in the world experiencing a resurgence, in part due to the advocacy and dedication of organizations, programs, and volunteers throughout Hawai‘i and beyond.
