Snorkeling with Green Sea Turtles! Destin Florida East Pass Jetty
Came across several Green Sea Turtles while snorkeling in Destin Florida at the East Pass Jetty last Sunday. Such a fantastic opportunity and then to catch it on video makes it even better. Brought along my snorkel buddy Jamie (GoPro Dawg goo.gl/3KcjNz) and son-in-law Alex and we will remember this day for many years to come. Jamie is my good luck charm... He said we would see sea turtles that day and we did!

Green turtle (Chelonia mydas):
Green turtles are an endangered species around the world, but they still nest in increasing numbers on the east coast of Florida. The green sea turtle was listed in the United States under the Endangered Species Act as endangered in 1978. The largest nesting site in the Western Hemisphere is at Tortuguero, Costa Rica, where STC has been running a research program since 1959. While the nesting population may be stable in Suriname and increasing in Tortuguero, there is insufficient information from other nesting sites to determine a species trend worldwide.
