The term "Honu" refers to the Hawaiian green sea turtle, a species known for its distinctive heart-shaped shell and large size. These turtles are often found in warm coastal waters and are recognized for their gentle nature. Honu primarily feed on seagrass and algae, playing a crucial role in maintaining the health of marine ecosystems. In Hawaiian culture, the Honu is a symbol of good luck, endurance, and long life. It is also associated with the goddess Kāne, who is believed to protect these turtles. Conservation efforts are in place to protect the Honu, as they face threats from habitat loss and pollution.
