Since 1979, the turtles have been protected by the Endangered Species Act and it is against the law to harass them in any way, including touching.
It is believed that Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles can live up to 80 years and most don't reach sexual maturity until they are about 25 years old, sometimes taking twice that long. Turtles, like salmon, return to the place they were hatched to lay their eggs. Every second or third year, turtles migrate hundreds of miles to nest. Each female will lay two or three clutches of 100 to 110 eggs before swimming back to its favorite resting and feeding area in the protected waters of the inshore reef.
It is common to see green sea turtles in Oahu waters, but if you see one, be mindful that they are endangered creatures and protected by law. If you come across a sea turtle when snorkeling, give it 10 to 15 feet of space and allow room for the animal to surface and breathe. It is against the law to approach, chase, surround, touch or swim with any protected marine mammal. To report suspected violations, call the NOAA Enforcement Hotline at 1-800-853-1964
