The Hawksbill sea turtle, recognized by its sharp, curving beak and beautiful shell, spends much of its day foraging for food on coral reefs. They are primarily spongivores, feeding on a variety of sponges that help to maintain the health of the reef ecosystem. This footage captures the turtle in one of its typical daily activities—searching for food while contributing to the delicate balance of marine life. As the turtle swims, it may also play a role in reef maintenance by removing prey that could otherwise grow unchecked and harm the coral. The Hawksbill's movements are slow and calculated, conserving energy for the long swims it undertakes.
