Trace Metals in Green Sea Turtles (Chelonia Mydas) Inhabiting Two Southern California Coastal Estuaries

We assessed 21 trace metals in green turtle scute and red blood cell samples collected find evidence that green turtle TM concentrations can differ between urbanized habitats and that long-term monitoring of these green turtles may be necessary. 

World’s Most Ambitious Satellite Telemetry Study of Foraging Green and Hawksbill Sea Turtles

Working with partners, NOAA researchers use satellite tags to investigate the spatial ecology of sea turtles in nearshore habitats of the Mariana Islands.

Persistent Organic Pollutants in Green Sea Turtles (Chelonia Mydas) Inhabiting Two Urbanized Southern California Habitats

We asses the persistent organic pollutants in green turtle populations in the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge and San Diego Bay to understand the contamination risks for these populations.

Densities and Drivers of Sea Turtle Populations Across Pacific Coral Reef Ecosystems

We estimate sea turtle densities, and describe trends based on sea turtle observations from 13 years of towed-diver surveys covering 7,300+ linear km, and more than 3,400 green and hawksbill sea turtles.

Critical Habitat for Hawksbill Sea Turtle

Pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA), NMFS is designating critical habitat for the threatened green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) to include coastal waters surrounding Culebra Island, Puerto Rico, and the endangered hawksbill sea turtle (Ere

A Long-Term Partnership Continues Prosperity for Sea turtles, Students, and Scientists

Recovery Plan for U.S. Pacific Populations of the East Pacific Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas)

This recovery plan serves as a road map for recovery of the endangered population of green sea turtle nesting on the Pacific coast of Mexico—the plan outlines the path and tasks required to restore and secure self-sustaining wild populations.

Honu Count: Help Us Find Numbered Sea Turtles in Hawai‘i

You can help us track Hawaiian green sea turtles (honu) by reporting the location where you see turtles with white alpha-numeric markings on their shells. Become a citizen scientist and contribute to a valuable source of data for sea turtles in Hawai‘i!
