Sea Life Park is putting a local spin on World Turtle Day with events in honor of  Hawaii’s beloved Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle May 23. The annual event will culminate in the release of two honu into the ocean at 2:45 p.m. at the beach across the street from Sea Life Park.  On May 23, the first 50 keiki to enter the park will receive free turtle feed cups. There will be educational talks, games and crafts, too. For more information, visit http://sealifeparkhawaii.com/
