Locals and regulars are fed up, calling for people to speak up when they see this kind of behavior. These turtles are federally protected, and getting too close can stress them out or even drive them away from their home beaches. Many in the Maui community are now debating: Are signs enough, or do we need stronger action to protect our wildlife? What would you do if you saw this happening? #News #Maui #WildlifeProtection11Share
