Photographer Michael Nolan captured these lovely shots of green sea turtles off the coast of both Maui in Hawaii, and the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador. Green sea turtles live in tropical and subtropical oceans around the world and migrate long distances between feeding grounds and hatching beaches.
