The Eastern Pacific Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas), is listed as endangered and has a circumtropical distribution. Within the Gulf of California it can be found mainly in the western waters, with some sightings to the south, in the National Park of Cabo Pulmo it is rare to find it, but there have been some sightings. This is the first record of an Eastern Pacific Green Turtle feeding in Cabo Pulmo National Park, this fact has a great importance since the park, can act as a feeding and refuge area, not only for the hawksbill turtle, but also for the Eastern Pacific Green Turtle.
