🐢 Happy World Sea Turtle Day! 🐢

Today we're celebrating the incredible Green Sea Turtle, one of the amazing species that calls Andros home. These gentle ocean grazers spend their days feeding on seagrass and algae, helping keep marine ecosystems healthy and thriving.

As the largest hard-shelled sea turtle, they can grow to over 400 pounds and live for more than 50 years! One of our favorite sights at Forfar is spotting juvenile Green Sea Turtles gliding through the mangroves.

Every encounter is a reminder of why protecting our oceans matters.

🌊 Today is World Reef Awareness Day! 🪸

Coral reefs are some of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth, supporting more than 25% of all marine life. From protecting coastlines to providing habitat for countless species, reefs play a vital role in the health of our oceans.

Here are a few simple ways we can help protect them:
☀️ Switch to reef-safe sunscreen
♻️ Reduce single-use plastics
🌿 Support eco-friendly businesses
🤿 Join our Reef Rescue Diving Expedition Trip
