Common Green Turtle: Natural History Notebooks Throughout history, the common green turtle has been an important source of food to local human populations and sea voyagers. The common green turtle was once abundant in all temperate and tropical seas of the world, but has become increasingly scarce in areas where it is commercially exploited for food and eggs; the demand for turtle soup, "turtle oil" for cosmetics, and turtle skin for shoe leather has encouraged a continuing, and sometimes illegal, trade. The common green turtle is still plentiful in Hawaii, but now rarely nests in North America, although feeding areas in Florida still have fairly large populations.
