Turtles are one of the oldest creatures on earth. The Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle, known as "Honu," symbolizes good luck, endurance and long life. Turtles can show up as a person's guardian spirit, known as "Aumakua." When lost, turtles are excellent navigators and often find their way home. Legend states that a green sea turtle guided the first Polynesian settlers to the islands. In historic days, only the rich were allowed to consume turtles as food. In modern times, sea turtles are protected by the Endangered Species act and there are severe penalties just for giving them stinkeye. Sea Turtle Conservancy's mission is to ensure the survival of sea turtles within the Wider Caribbean basin and Atlantic through research, education, training, advocacy and the protection of the natural habitats upon which they depend. We're thrilled to be have partnered with them to help donate 5% of sales of all Crystal Sea Turtle Bracelets to help save the turtles. |
