Silver coin $0.50 Australia 2011 – Australian Sea Life: Hawksbill Turtle

The hawksbill sea turtle is the only member of its genus and is critically endangered. They play a very important role in maintaining the marine ecosystem.
Sea turtles are found mainly on the tropical reefs of the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
Now in many countries it is forbidden to catch, kill and trade turtles. Despite this, in some parts of the world, turtles and their eggs continue to be used as food, although they can be poisonous to humans, and various products are made from the shells.
