Green Turtles Niche
The green turtle niches include eating tons of algae and sea grass. When they eat the sea grass, they are helping maintain the sea grass beds so they look good for the environment. Whenever the female green sea turtle lay their eggs on sand dunes, they are improving the vegetation of the sand dunes! Also, juvenile green sea turtles eat jellyfish, sponges, and worms. The role they play is by regulating a variety or other organisms by simply eating them.
How they interact with other organisms
Green turtles interact with there environment by gazing, they dig burrows, they dispense seeds, they create and modify habitats, and they affect food webs and mineral. New studies were found that turtles, along with other understudied animals can communicate using a diverse repertoire of vocal sounds. Green turtles rarely interact with much however, Sometimes, small groups of fish cluster around green turtles pecking at their shells. This is an example of a symbiotic relationship (a long standing relationship between two species). When both species benefit: the turtle gets its shell cleaned and the fish gets a meal, this special relationship is called mutualism.
