Green sea turtles primarily feed on various types of kelp, particularly focusing on species like giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) and other brown algae. They also consume seagrasses and other marine plants, but their diet is predominantly herbivorous, emphasizing the importance of kelp forests in their habitat. The availability of specific kelp species can influence their feeding habits and overall health.
