*** About Florida Green Sea Turtle: The Florida Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas) is primarily found in the warm waters near coastal islands and bays. These turtles are named for the greenish color of their cartilage and fat, not their shells, which are usually olive to black. They are an endangered species, facing threats from habitat loss, pollution, and climate change. Florida green sea turtles are known for their diet, which includes seagrasses and algae, helping to maintain the health of sea grass beds. Conservation efforts in places like Miami focus on protecting nesting sites and reducing bycatch in fishing gear to ensure their survival and the overall biodiversity of their habitats.
