Aloha All – I shot video of a Green Sea Turtle rescue project at around 6PM on Tuesday, July 21, 2009. Two nests that had hatched naturally a week before were excavated for research and rescue purposes. The nests were on Maui Coastal Land Trust property at the Waihe’e Coastal Dunes and Wetlands Refuge. State of Hawaii Dept. of Land & Natural Resources Division of Aquatic Resources Marine Biologist Skippy Hau was in charge of the project and was assisted by Cheryl King of the Hawaiian Wildlife Fund. 15 baby Green Sea Turtles were rescued and about 150 to 200 empty shell casings were collected.
I shot over an hour of miniDV tape and edited out this 9 minute 50 second clip for YouTube airing.

Duration : 0:9:50
