Welcome back to a Sea Turtle Picture A Day. Today we are heading back over the Pacific ocean to the Big Island Of Hawaii. This picture is of a Green Sea Turtle(Chelonia mydas) resting on the rocks. This particular turtle has a (TDR) Time Depth Recorder attached to its shell. A TDR records the amount of time a turtle spends underwater and the depth that it swims to.
This turtle was part of a test to try to find out more of what the local population of turtles that live along this particular section of the coast do with their time spent in the water
This picture was taken with a 70-200 mm lens
See you tomorrow
