Today is the anniversary of the Endangered Species Act! 🎉

The National Marine Sanctuaries Act is not the only piece of legislation that’s important to your sanctuaries. On this day, December 28, the Endangered Species Act was signed in 1973. Considered to be one of the world’s strongest conservation laws, the ESA provides a framework to conserve and protect endangered and threatened species and their habitats.

While doing a night dive.

I think one of the worst visibilities I had here at Lanzarote.

When standing in the water I couldn't see my fins.

Maybe 1,5 up to max 3 meters of visibility.

Crazy to have bumped into a Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas) with this visibility. 🐢

I was not prepared for this with my 60mm lens looking for macro life.

Just a small western ribbon snake chillin’ in work. I tried to catch him to get him back outside but he was fast! Apparently, he prefers living in the walls 🤷🏻‍♀️

Here’s something green for St. Patrick’s Day: the green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas)! Its signature color comes from its herbivorous diet, which includes seagrass and algae.🌊🐢🌊 In fact, it’s one of the few sea turtles to mainly feed on vegetation. You might notice that its shell is brown; this is because its diet only affects the color of its fat. The reptile is big, too. It can grow to be as much as 4 feet (1.2 meters) and weigh a hefty 350 pounds (159 kilograms)! It has a wide range across tropical and subtropical waters and can be spotted in the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, and Pacific Ocean.

Green sea turtles are always ready for St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀

Adult green turtles are unique among sea turtles in that they eat only plants; they primarily feed on on seagrasses and algae. This diet is thought to give them greenish-colored fat, from which they take their name. This one was spotted by a snorkeler in Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary.

Have you seen anything green when you were in a national marine sanctuary?

My latest painting “Baby Green Sea Turtle Journey” is inspired by a photograph taken in the red sea by a marine biologist Morgan Bennett-Smith. Sea turtles are incredible creatures, we need to protect them and the oceans, their home!

A massive fleet of Chinese fishing vessels (more than 260!) is currently lighting up #Galapagos islands horizon, killing millions of protected sealife species for human consumption. My heart is bleeding as it's on the edge of a huge protection zone, on the migration route of many endangered species and home to the largest shark biomass in the whole world 🌎 . Please help by signing the petition (link in bio or down below) to increase pressure on the political leaders 💪 To learn more, follow @fishactorg, @globalfishingwatch and other amazing organizations or look at recent #sosgalapagos posts. .
