"I came across this lone green sea turtle gliding through the murky depths off the coast of Tahiti, gleaming like an emerald illuminated against the velvet blue of the south Pacific. Despite common belief, the green sea turtle’s name does not refer to the color of its shell but rather to the greenish tint of its fat, which comes from a diet primarily consisting of algae and seagrass. Their shells are typically more of an olive color splashed with a mosaic of rich browns and patterns that resemble the grasses on which they graze. Endearing as they are vulnerable, sea turtles embody the incredible perseverance of marine life and our ocean’s deepest mysteries. Despite extensive research, scientists still cannot fully explain how these nomads unfailingly navigate back to their nesting beaches to lay their eggs even after years at sea." - Cristina Mittermeier Cristina Mittermeier Biography: A virtuous mind and voice in conservation photography and one of the most influential female photographers in the world, Cristina Mittermeier began her career as a Marine Biologist working in her native Mexico.
