<br/><br/> Green  turtles  are  protected  in  Namibia  under  the  Marine  Resources  Act  No.  27  of  2000  while  the  IUCN  (2020)  classifies green turtles as Endangered due to a decreasing population trend and a decrease in or widespread disturbance of nesting sites. This sighting is viewed as the first confirmed nesting site of green turtle published for Namibia, and furthermore confirms the importance of the Kunene River estuary, not only for avifauna, but as a potential green turtle breeding site.
