🌊 Clean Beaches, Happy Reef! ♻️
Last time, we took action on Frankland Islands, rolling up our sleeves for an epic Reef Clean with Tangaroa Blue! 💪 From fishing gear tangled in the tide to plastic that didn’t belong, we cleared the way for a healthier ocean—and gathered valuable data to tackle marine debris at the source. Here's our island guide @annafavero teaching us about micro-plastics!
💡 Every bottle cap, rope, and lost flip-flop removed means a safer home for turtles, fish, and coral. Small actions = big impact! 🐠🐢🌿
Of course, no cleanup is complete without some snorkeling, wildlife spotting, and an island feast—because giving back to the reef should be just as rewarding as it is important! 🏝️✨

BREAKING NEWS: Baby turtles hatch at Frankland Islands 12th Feb 2025
BREAKING NEWS: Baby Green Turtles Hatch at Frankland Islands!
Frankland Islands, QLD – In an incredible moment for nature lovers and marine conservation, baby green turtles have hatched at Frankland Islands and made their way to the ocean, marking the start of their underwater journey.
Early yesterday morning, the Frankland Islands crew witnessed the last of the hatchlings scrambling down the beach towards the water. Crew member Jimmy captured the moment on video as a few latecomers emerged from the sand – stragglers from a major hatching event the night before.
Protecting the Nest:
Two months ago, Frankland Islands staff discovered turtle tracks on the beach, a clear sign that a nesting green turtle had laid her eggs during the night. The crew sectioned off the area to preserve the nest, ensuring the hatchlings had the best chance of survival.
A Race for Survival:
Green turtles spend their entire lives in the ocean, only coming to shore to nest. Each clutch contains 100–120 eggs, and around 80% of the hatchlings from this nest emerged the previous night—a strategy that helps them avoid predators. However, those left behind had to make their dash in broad daylight, facing increased risks from birds, crabs, and other threats.
The odds are tough—only about one in 1,000 green turtles will survive to adulthood—but these hatchlings are now on their way, carried by the currents of the Great Barrier Reef.
This rare event is a powerful reminder of the importance of conservation, as nesting turtles return to these beaches year after year. By protecting their habitats, we can help ensure the future of these incredible marine creatures.
