Green Sea Turtles

Green sea turtles like this one filmed by Trystan Snodgrass in La Jolla are highly migratory. They range throughout the Pacific Ocean and are found in many national marine sanctuaries, including Channel Islands!

Do you have footage or photos that you've taken in a national marine sanctuary? Share it with us for a chance to appear as part of #EarthIsBlue by emailing sanctuaries@noaa.gov!

But remember to always give marine animals plenty of space: a great photo is NEVER worth harassing wildlife. If an animal is rapidly changing direction, swimming erratically, or trying to get away, cautiously move away from it and let it be.
