World Oceans Day

Today is the United Nations World Oceans Day! The theme is "Revitalization: Collective Action for the Ocean"

This is a green sea turtle (chelonia mydas) slowing swimming in front of a cluster of black sea rod soft coral (plexaura homomalla). They are listed as endangered by the IUCN. The pattern on their shells is incredibly beautiful (only partially visible from this angle) and somewhat mimics the swaying sea rods. They are always a treat to encounter on the reef.
