This rare Critically Endangered Hawksbill Sea Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) footage was captured whilst scuba diving at Phi Phi islands in the Andaman Sea, Krabi, Thailand. Sea Turtles are reef dwelling creatures who feed mainly on jellyfish and coral. The Hawksbill Turtle, unlike other sea Turtles, feeds predominantly on sponge corals, making it a crucial part of the Coral Reef Ecosystem. Hawksbills are perhaps the most endangered of all sea Turtles being classed as critically endangered on the IUCN red list, due to being hunted for their meat and shell. This footage shows their primal instinctive behavior as they forage for food on the coral reef. Damage to the coral reef can also be seen in the form of coral bleaching and man made impact.
This rare Critically Endangered Hawksbill Sea Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) is about to eat a plastic garbage bag. Classified by the IUCN as facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild in the immediate future. The animal is about to ingest the material that would lead to its death. Ocean Pollution is said to be one of the largest environmental disasters of our time. Over 8 million tonnes is dumped in the Ocean every year. Discarded, abandoned or obsolete items which become dangerous garbage, is responsible for the deaths of huge amounts of Marine Life every year, through entanglement and consumption. The plastic was seen by the photographer and removed just in time. The location is Phi Phi islands in the Andaman Sea, Krabi, Thailand.

The Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System (MBRS), also popularly known as the Great Mayan Reef or Great Maya Reef, is a marine region that stretches over 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) from Isla Contoy at the tip of the Yucatán Peninsula down to Belize, Guatemala and the Bay Islands of Honduras. The reef system includes various protected areas and parks including the Belize Barrier Reef, Arrecifes de Cozumel National Park, Hol Chan Marine Reserve (Belize), Sian Ka'an biosphere reserve, and the Cayos Cochinos Marine Park.
Green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas), are amongst the largest of sea turtles and are classified as an Endangered species. They swim over large areas in search of food, here we see one swimming in the open ocean displaying that behaviour. They are threatened by over harvesting of their eggs, hunting for their shell and meat, being caught in fishing gear and loss of nesting beach sites. Due to this they are now becoming a rare site in the wild. This footage was taken at Hin Daeng, Andaman Sea, Krabi, Thailand.
