Bath time for this tiny hawksbill post hatchling! 🛁🫧 @marathonturtlehospital team is doing an amazing job rehabbing and caring for this critically endangered hawksbill named Helene. Marine wildlife rehab is an amazing career direction if you love the ocean and taking care of animals! Loved visiting the turtle hospital while staying just down the road at @happyinthekeys! #hawksbill #seaturtle #conservation #marinebiology #ocean #pov #marinebio #endangeredspecies #wildliferehab #vet #womeninstem #florida #floridakeys #trending
Watch this hawksbill mama meticulously dig her nest in Seychelles!🇸🇨🐢 Slowly, she uses her back flippers to scoop the sand out, creating a hole deep enough to safely deposit her eggs!🥚 Although hawksbill nests are pretty shallow - with an egg chamber of about 40 to 50cms, the process is still laborious. Do you know how many eggs hawksbills generally lay per nest? Tell us in the comments below!👇 . . . . #ORPSeychelles #SeaTurtleNesting #SeaTurtleNests #Hawksbill #SeaTurtleConservation
Size comparison...🌊🐢👶 vs 👣 Tiny #hawksbill #seaturtlebaby vs human foot. Baby #seaturtles have to grow A LOT before they reach their adult size. Hawksbills will grow from a ~15 g (0.53 oz) hatchling into a ~50-70 kg (110-155 pounds) animal. 🎥@seaturtlebiologist 𓆉 #seaturtlebiologist #costarica #seaturtles #turtlerescue #seaturtleconservation #seaturtlelove #beoceanminded #savetheseaturtles #saveouroceans #marinebiology #conservationoptimism #iliketurtles

It’s difficult to decipher what’s plastic and what’s food… the wrong decision could bring great harm to this critically endangered Hawksbill.     Thanks to @catherine_anne_uw for Taking 3 for the Sea during every dive! #Take3fortheSea    🎥@catherine_anne_uw  .  .  .  .  .  #take3forthesea #hawksbill #hawksbillturtle #endangered #endangeredspecies #criticallyendangered #iucnredlistofthreatenedspecies #redsea #seagrass #plastic #plasticfree #plasticfreeliving #plasticfreejuly #saveourseas #scuba #padiaware #greenfins #deepbluedivecenter #gopro #goprohero #scubadiver #uwvideo #uwvideography #protectwhatyoulove #aqabajordan #jellyfish #everydiveasurveydive
Today is Sea Turtle Day! To celebrate this day, we wanted to share some facts about sea turtles: 🐢 There are 7 species of sea turtles, 2 of which are Critically Endangered: Hawksbill and Kemp’s. 🐢 Hawksbill turtles use their beaks to help extract their favorite prey. 🐢 Sea turtles lay their eggs in a nest they dig in the sand with their rear flippers. The group of eggs is called a clutch. 🐢 Most sea turtles nest at night—Kemp’s ridleys are the only sea turtles that routinely nest during the day. 🐢 Leatherback sea turtles have existed in their current form since the age of the dinosaurs! 🐢 Sea turtles don’t retract into their shells. 🐢 Sea turtles are deep divers and can stay underwater for long periods of time. Which one surprised you the most? ⬇️ 📸 @aleksmutated #SeaTurtleDay #seaturtle #savetheturtles #wildlife #conservation #wildaid #protectourturtles #hawksbill
Go home turtle, you’re drunk. #turtle #hawksbill #iliketurtles

A peaceful moment with a beautiful #hawksbill sea turtle 🐢🌊 📹: @fab.aroundtheglobe #Wildlife #Ocean #Peace #Beauty #Animals #Photography
This #hawksbill straggler needed a few extra days to reabsorbe all of its residual yolk. Its siblings were already long gone when we found it among the eggshells and unhatched eggs 🥚. I am glad it worked 💪🏻, and it was ready to start its journey, although all by itself and without the protection of a group. #seaturtlebiologist #costarica #seaturtles #babyseaturtles #turtlerescue #seaturtleconservation #seaturtlelove #beoceanminded #savetheseaturtles #saveouroceans #marinebiology #conservationoptimism #iliketurtles
Kristina shares a peaceful moment with a Hawksbill Turtle off the coast of Tulamben, Bali 🤿: @kristinahelen_ 🎥: @roneydives Apparently I’ve never shared footage of turtles on this page! Diving on the north of Bali, we were lucky enough to encounter several Hawksbill Turtles feeding on the reef. While they’re a fairly common sight in the Indo-Pacific, biologists estimate that the Hawksbill Turtle population has declined 80% in the last 100-135 years and they are now classified as a critically endangered species. #scubadiving #turtle #hawksbill #girlsthatscuba #marinebiology #oceanvideo #endangered #underwaterphotography
One of those special moments... I went up to him… and he just stayed. So calm, so peaceful… the sensation a get when a wild animal feels comfortable around me is the greatest gifts of all 🙏🥹 Turtles have such a special place in my heart. The first turtle I ever saw in my life was a green sea turtle in the Canary Islands… I still remember that day, that heartbeat. This is a hawksbill turtle 🐢 It breaks my heart knowing they’re still endangered. Moments like this remind me how beautiful the ocean is… and how much we need to protect it 🌊💙 I wish everyone could feel this at least once… NAMASTE 🧜‍♀️🌊 #oceanlover #turtles #hawksbill #scubadive #oceancreatures
