LOST

Once, there were tens of millions of green sea turtles around the world. Now there may be fewer than 200,000 mature adults and in Kona alone (where I shot this) there are fewer then a thousand total, that’s why you can see an identification number etched on its shell. The loss of habitat and ocean pollution has increased the death rate since the 90’s ten fold. Watch your waste. #savetheturtles Edits: added clarity to the water and texture to the sand and turtle shell I also dropped the exposure just slightly as well
