• What is a green turtle? The green turtle (Chelonia mydas) is a large and attractive marine turtle that spends almost its entire life at sea. However, during the summer months, the females come ashore to nest on some mainland beaches and many offshore islands of northern Australia. It is one of only six marine turtle species found in Western Australia, and they are all endangered. In the past, the animal was boiled up into soup and its fat was green, which is the reason for its name. Australia, along with 115 other countries, has now banned the import or export of products form marine turtles.
• Where does it live? The green turtle is found in all of the world's tropical and warm-temperate oceans.
• Green turtles are quite often seen in northern WA in areas such as Ningaloo Marine Park, Shark Bay Marine Park, the proposed Dampier Archipelago Marine Park, and sometimes also in the waters of southern areas such as Marmion and Shoalwater Islands Marine Parks and even as far south-east as King George Sound in Albany.

• What they eat and how: Unlike other marine turtles, which are carnivores, adult green turtles are vegetarian, grazing on seagrasses or seaweeds. Immature green turtles are carnivorous and feed on jellyfish, small shellfish, crustaceans and sponges.
