Turtles spent their whole life in the water unless they go to lay eggs. But in Hawaii Green Sea Turtles can sometimes be seen
Many islands host the nesting of Sea Turtles, so many beaches have been named turtle island in honor of the turtles.
The first year after the baby sea turtle hatched, they drift and float with big mats of sea weed.
Green sea turtles can stay under water for somewhere up to five hours.
The Green Sea Turtle gets its named not for the color of its shell, which is normally brown or olive depending on its habitat, but for the greenish color of its skin.
