Because of their size and mobility in the water they have only two predators - sharks and humans. Near their nesting grounds in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, where tiger sharks are more plentiful, adult male and female turtles can often be seen crawling up on the beaches and laying motionless in the sun for hours. This phenomenon known as basking is believed to help the turtles avoid predation by tiger sharks and also serves to increase their body temperature and speed up their metabolism. Hawaii's population of green sea turtles is listed as threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act.
