Ocean travelers

Sea turtles live mostly in the ocean, but mothers lay their eggs on beaches.

Less plastic.
More ocean magic.

Turtles can mistake plastic for food. Carry a reusable bottle and join a grown-up for a safe beach cleanup.

Leave a
smooth path.

Before leaving the beach, fill your holes, flatten your sandcastles, and take your gear home. Tiny turtles need a clear path!

Theo is ready to explore.

Hawksbills prefer sea sponges in many places, but they also eat jellyfish, corals, mollusks, tunicates, crustaceans, algae, and other foods. In Hawaiʻi, where sponges can be less available, they forage opportunistically on a varied diet. Their narrow head and pointed beak help reach food in small reef holes and crevices.

Sponges are animals and valuable reef neighbors. Eating some sponges can reduce competition for space and help corals, but feeding alone does not repair a damaged reef. Hawksbills may also eat jellyfish occasionally; sponges are the main food in this game.
