Sea Turtle Reef Observation

I spent the afternoon tethered to the tide pool, watching a young sea turtle slip beneath the surface, its shell glinting like a tiny moon. The quiet dance reminded me that we are partners, not observers, and I felt a gentle surge of gratitude for the trust it places in us. I scribbled notes on the reef’s coral symbiosis, excited to share the next breakthrough with my students, hoping my enthusiasm inspires them as it does me. Though the day’s work feels endless, I smile, knowing each small observation nudges us closer to a healthier ocean. #MarineLove 🐢🌊
