Save a Turtle

Long, long, ago there was a sea turtle named Kauila (cow ee la). Legend says that she protected and watched over little children. It was said that she could turn into a small girl herself and swim with the children. Now the tides have turned. Today, instead of the sea turtles protecting us, we must protect them. We must reverse roles and become Aliuak (a lee oo ca), protector of the sea turtles. This web page is dedicated to the survival of sea turtles and to showing how you can help to insure that they will always be here to watch over us.
