In German the species is just called "leather turtle". I was taught that turtles live in the sea and tortoises on land, so I did not think to add "sea" since I thought it'd be a pleonasm. Please accept turtle.

The leatherback is just one species of sea turtle and it doesn't necessarily have to have the word sea in it's English name either but it still is a sea turtle (Meeresschildkröte).
