The Journey of the green Sea turtles

The turtle is the second largest turtle that can grow more than 0.9 to 1.5 meters from 7 types of turtles that are included in the phylum Chordata group Chelonidae, this species eats grass or algae which in childhood and juveniles eat everything or are omnivores, as The assumption is to encourage growth by hunting small fish, jellyfish, sponges, small crabs, green turtles are found in tropical and subtropical climates whose distribution areas are on the islands of the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, including those found on the islands of Indonesia, Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Nusa Tenggara, Bali, Maluku, Papua. And some places become islands or ideal places for laying eggs. natural areas and beaches that are far from the reach of human activities. only female turtles will come to the mainland to release their eggs. 

This shelled reptile is migratory and as a skilled swimmer can cover a distance of 3000 kilometers in 58-70 days. In addition, it is reliable that the green turtle breeds very slowly so that it is considered a protected animal by national and international law, with an uncertain age of sexual maturity to date estimated at 45-50 years and female turtles migrate in large areas between foraging and egg laying areas. but tend to follow shorelines rather than cross the open ocean. Adult sea turtles are herbivorous sea turtles. Their main food is seagrass or algae living in tropical and subtropical waters. but children are assumed to be omnivores.

Green turtle distribution areas include the Australian coast and the South Pacific Islands, there are a number of nesting areas and important foraging areas for turtles, they are also found in the Mediterranean and in the northern to coastal waters of England.

 

Along with the development of an increasingly modern era, many nesting sites have changed functions with uncontrolled development causing beaches that are important for green turtles to lay eggs. Likewise, habitats where green turtles forage such as coral reefs and seagrass beds continue to suffer damage due to sedimentation or even destruction by humans.

Sea turtles can lay more than 150 nesting eggs and lay several eggs during the season, so that more turtles make it to the adult stage. The balance between sea turtles and predators can be counterintuitive to turtle survival when new predators are induced or if natural predators suddenly increase as a result of human activities. As dogs are a major threat to eggs and hatcheries.
