Baby Honu Released Into Ocean

For the first time, green sea Honu were released in Hawaiian waters from a cruise ship.
Four baby Honu, each with special names, took their first dive into the open ocean, about ten-miles northwest of Kauai.
Baby Ha’aheo, Nani Pupu, Kaimakana and Au-ku’oko’a were released yesterday, from the pride of Hawaii.
The turtles were apart of a promotion sponsored by sea life park’s dolphin days and NCL America—hoping to increase awareness of Hawaiian marine life.
Now, a NOAA research project will keep an eye on the four turtles and study their behavior in the open ocean.
