"George Floyd" is a deceased juvenile hawksbill that was found washed ashore by Cindy Hutler & Carrie DeMott in 2021. Under NOAA permit #21260, Maui Ocean Center Marine Institute responded and is holding it until it can be necropsied by NOAA. We decided to name it “George Floyd”, due to the possibility that it drowned (since there weren't external signs of deadly injury).
I don’t often include deceased individuals if they haven’t already been documented alive, but I’m including George Floyd out of respect, to honor his memory and offer support for Black Lives Matter social justice movements. We need to spread awareness about the illegal fishing practices that are far too common locally and globally. Sea turtles can hold their breath for hours on their terms, but not if struggling in a net!
Lay gill nets are illegal on Maui! Please call DOCARE immediately if discovered: 643-DLNR.
Hawaiian Islands' fishing regulations are found: https://dlnr.hawaii.gov/dar/fishing/fishing-regulations/gear-restrictions/
Please call the NOAA statewide marine animal response hotline with any sea turtle emergencies: 1-888-256-9840.

Note: In November 2024, Dave and Cherri Gallison photographed Scooter with a hook in her mouth with ~14" of trailing monofilament line. Through the NOAA permitted activities under the Maui Ocean Center Marine Institute www.mocmarineinstitute.org, "Scooter" was caught for assessment by the team of Alan Espiritu, Bruce Weyermann, Cheryl King, Don McLeish, Jennifer Learned, Katrina Guiry, Kristen DeCrausaz, & Rose Nellis. We were able to safely remove the hook plus take all necessary measurements and apply P.I.T. tags for identification beyond photo-ID. Until it wears off, she has "MA464" moto-tooled on her carapace for easy identification.
