Abstract
This field guide听provides information on marine turtles in the Maldives. Marine turtles live permanently in a saltwater environment. Unlike tortoises, marine turtles have a streamlined听shell and flippers that allow them to swim quickly,听but this is not enough to survive in saltwater. Their听breathing and circulatory systems have, therefore,听adapted to marine life.听
