Sea turtles are iconic emblems of the Great Barrier Reef. Every summer, mother turtles make epic migrations back to the beaches they were born on to lay hundreds of eggs in nests below the sand. The life of a turtle is full of challenges, with many species increasingly at risk from entanglement, pollution, coastal development and climate change.
Nev and Bev are on the front lines ensuring sea turtles continue to nest and survive on the Reef for generations to come. Their inspiring dedication to these creatures spans over four decades of conservation work at Queensland’s Wreck Rock Beach.
