Gorgeous Hawksbill Turtle with its own escort of fish following it to the surface in Palm Beach County, Florida! One of my favorite turtle images that I picked as the cover of one of our conservation books "Sea Turtles Up Close". Brilliantly written by Jen Nolan, using my images, this book has won 4 awards so far! It is available at my web site in my bio as well as Amazon. If you like my photography you will love all of our books! Education is the key to conservation! As Jacque Cousteau said, "We only protect what we love!" I love Sea Turtles! Hawksbill turtles are listed as endangered worldwide! We must do more to protect our wildlife! Save the turtles! We're at the beginning of peak turtle nesting season right now, join me daily at sea to see these beautiful creatures as well as many others in the beautiful clear waters of Palm Beach, Florida! @jim_abernethy #bethechangetheworldneeds #seaturtle #startwithonething #bethevoice #saveturtles #epicimagery #epicencounters #nature #beautiful #conservation #love #loggerheadmarinelifecenter #gumbolimbo #beautiful #epicimages #protectendangeredanimals #passion

A baby juvenile loggerhead turtle having already conquered a myrid of life taking natural obstacles such as ants, crabs, sea birds, raccons, etc as well as man made obstacles such as beach renourishment, lights, boats and human consumption now heads for the open sea. Science tells us that roughly 1 in 1000 will make it to maturity and reproduce. Long ago sea turtles roamed the oceans in huge numbers, but today all 7 species are listed as endangered or critically endangered. Longline fishing, habitat destruction as well as human consumption has devastated all 7 species. We have the knowledge to change the 6th extinction from happening, but it must come from everyone of us! Be the change the world needs to stop destroying our only home, earth as well as our own existence! @jim_abernethy #seaturtle #turtle #startwithonething #naturephotography #nature #greenturtle #bethevoice #jimabernethysscubaadventures (at Jim Abernethy's Scuba Adventures & Marine Life Art Gallery)
