As part of the Hawaii State Library's summer reading challenge, Marc Rice presented a virtual talk about the sea turtles of Hawaii and beyond. The idea was to explain the uniqueness of the Hawaiian honu and honu 'ea populations in Hawaii and then show three other turtle populations that are in other parts of the Pacific Ocean. While honu and honu 'ea are distinctly a Hawaiian population, the northern and southern Pacific loggerhead turtles span the entire north and south Pacific Ocean from east to west and the honu 'ea or hawksbill populations in the south Pacific are critically endangered as are the Hawaiian hawksbill turtles.
The plan is to show that we are in one big ocean and many of the sea turtles utilize nearly all of it in the sub-tropical and tropical areas.
WHAT WE DO TO THE ENVIRONMENT ANYWHERE AFFECTS US ALL EVERYWHERE!
