Underwater Video of a Hawksbill Sea Turtle in Paradise
Check out shomophoto's recent underwater video that was shot on the coast of St. John. I believe the baby sea turtle that appeared is a Hawksbill Sea Turtle. This video showcases the beautiful coral reefs and sea life here in the US Virgin Islands, enjoy!

Here in the Caribbean these sea turtles are critically endangered. Many hunt the Hawksbills for their meat and beautiful shells which have been made into jewelry for centuries.
Check out the VI Sea Turtle Project for more information on the importance of biodiversity and how it plays a big role in our ecosystem. Each species no matter how small all have
