http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episodes/kilauea-mountain-of-fire/introduction... Kilauea's lava flows have created a fertile feeding ground for turtles just offshore. Green sea turtles are drawn here by bountiful seaweed and the black sand beaches that are a favorite basking ground. Hunting and egg harvesting nearly brought the turtles to the brink, but marine biologist George Balazs runs a conservation program that has been tagging turtles since 1978.
"Kilauea: Mountain of Fire" airs on PBS Sunday, May 2, 2010 at 8 p.m. (check local listings). "Kilauea: Mountain of Fire" is part of the 28th season of the Peabody and Emmy award-winning series produced by Thirteen in association with WNET.ORG for PBS. Major support provided by Canon U.S.A. Inc. For more information, visit http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episodes/kilauea-mountain-of-fire/introduction...

I hatch! Crawl! And swim!
Oh how I love my sweet life,
Please don’t hunt me.

This photography is spectacular, and especially in HD! And I praise everyone involved in helping these turtles recover from near extinction.
