Hawksbill turtles are found throughout the tropical waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, named for their narrow, pointed beak. They typically avoid deep waters, preferring coastlines and coral reefs where they can find sponges, their primary food source. These beautiful creatures make incredible migrations to move from feeding sites to tropical beaches that often serve as nesting grounds. Hawksbill turtles come to New Zealand every year from Fiji. Although they’ve been sighted as far south as Cook Strait, they are mostly seen in the upper North Island of New Zealand in the clear, shallow waters of the island shelf. Like many sea turtles, hawksbills are a critically endangered species due mostly to human impact. Hawksbill eggs are still eaten around the world despite the turtle’s international protected status, and they are often killed for their flesh and their stunning shells that are highly valuable in some marketplaces.
