It's great to have our first sea turtle sighting for the region on NatureMapr.
However, it's hard to identify the species from the photo provided. It looks like a Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas) but it could also be a Hawksbill Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata), as both species have been recorded at Evans Head.
It's most certainly a marine turtle (superfamily Chelonioidea).
@Claw055 - is this a duplicate sighting i.e the same individual at the same time, as this one Chelonioidea (Sea Turtles) , as the photos were taken at the same time?
