Legend has it that the islands of the Coral Sea are built on the back of a giant sea turtle. This is a world where the ebbs and flows of life are made of the turquoise sea and the lush jungle.

Saltwater runs through the veins of the local people, who are deeply connected to the ocean----also some of the most important sanctuaries for endangered green sea turtles in the world.

Join local conservationists as they safeguard the future of green sea turtles, one tiny new hatchling at a time.
