The seven existing species of sea turtles are the green, loggerhead, Kemp's ridley, olive ridley, hawksbill, flatback, and leatherback. There are a few different kinds of sea turtles in this video. Lady Elliot Island is located within the 'Green Zone' of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, which is the highest possible classification designated by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority. Marine National Park Green Zones protect the biodiversity within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park by protecting important breeding and nursery areas such as seagrass beds, mangrove communities, deepwater shoals, and reefs The island is particularly renowned for its scuba diving and snorkeling, as its location far offshore at the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef results in excellent water clarity.
