| 説明 | The green turtle is one of five species of sea turtles found in Florida’s Gulf and Atlantic waters. All five are considered either a threatened or an endangered species and are protected under state and federal laws. If you snorkel around shallow flats and seagrass meadows you might see a green turtle. Remember, look, don’t touch. At night, green turtles may sleep in seagrass beds, areas of rock ledges and coral reefs. Green turtles, unlike other sea turtles, are largely vegetarians. The green turtle's name comes not from the color of its shell – olive-brown with dark streaks and spots – but from the greenish color of its body fat. These large marine animals weigh an average of 300 pounds as adults and can reach lengths of 3 feet. Interesting fact: Female sea turtles return to the same beaches where they were born to nest and lay eggs every 2-4 years. Green-turtles nest on Florida’s beaches from June through late September. Remember to follow “lights out” guidelines during nesting season! If you see a distressed or injured sea turtle or disoriented hatchlings wandering a road, parking lot or in a direction other than toward the water, call the FWC at 888-404-3922. |
