World Oceans Day

How will you mark World Oceans Day?

A week or so ago we walked along the coast and as we walked we picked up plastic rubbish and cans, until our bags were full. Sadly we had to leave a lot of rubbish because we couldn't carry it all.

Rubbish picked up along the coast

Rubbish gets into the sea from the beach, from boats and also from being blown into the sea from the land.

Turtle conservation at Kelly Tarlton's

Turtles that find themselves in New Zealand waters, are a long way from home! Turtles are animals of the tropics where the water is warmer. According to the Kelly Tarlton's website, turtles that are in the colder water around New Zealand are often those that are weak or sick.

Here is a green turtle that is in Turtle Rehab at Kelly Tarlton's Sealife Aquarium.
