SO much reef close by and shallow enough to snorkel and be in another world. 💕💕 The Rainforest is very diverse. What an amazing location you have chosen to raise your children and be able to catch FRESH seafood to eat. Very sad the Ocean has "millions of tons" of rubbish dumped. 😠🥹 It HAS to STOP Love n light Pete Far Nth NSW

All so lovely to watch - and so appreciative of the sensitivity your children have for their ocean friends. So sad to see the plight of the turtle - and awful to think how many more suffer the same.

Arlo's huge sigh says it all. It really is sad... and I've learnt that even small pieces of plastic in the stomach of a turtle drastically increase the risk of the dying prematurely.. so sad. And here on Uepi (and even the wider Solomon Islands) the plastic pollution is relatively low by comparison to other parts of the world... Breaks my heart seeing it first hand but what a life lesson for the kids to see for themselves :-(

We always enjoy your adventures Katie. Your children are amazing and committed conservationists, they care and want to do something about plastic pollution. Well done parents and grandparents.

Aww thanks Brett... it is a balance living in this incredible place but then witnessing first hand the impact us humans have.. sad for the gorgoues turtle and a lesson for our kids.. SO happy to report we have had an up close and personal turtle experience since then which has left us all feeling more positive :-)

I showed this video to my Kindergarten class today, as on Friday we had read a book called “Vanishing”. A great follow up- such an important message. Love your videos. Visited Uepi in Oct, 2019 when you were having Ophelia, but I feel like I know your family. 🥰

Ohh WOW this makes me feel so happy and proud!! Thank you first and foremost for your commitment to educating the younger generations on the importance of protecting our vanishing coral reefs.. I feel honoured you would share our video to restore some positivity .. we have a special resource to protect here for sure!!! I hope we meet one day here on our island shores :)

Absolutely agree... I hate to think how many poor turtles consume plastic in this area.. but hopefully our clean ups will make some difference?! Beautiful light at North Log for our dive and we loved snorkeling the super shallow reef with the kids! What a special place to be in the water hey :)

We love your underwater videos!!!! That cuttlefish was enormous!!! We found a cuttlefish bone on the beach in Greece the other day and watching this at the start, our Arlo said “I wonder if they’ll find a cuttlefish?” And BAM! 😍 so devastating about the turtle tho but so important to share so people really register with the reality of what’s happening in our oceans. It’s so sad too that so much rubbish can wash up in such a remote place, it really shows how we all need to do more. Gorgeous video and message Katie 🩵💙 keep fighting the good fight with your beautiful family!!

Sure was a sad day seeing that first hand... who really knows its cause of death but I'd guess plastics certainly would have contributed to its demise. Thanks for watching... hope to see you back here on the reef soon Pete!

It was quite sad and really hit home for the children but I think this island life is about experiencing it all and finding ways to turn that experience into a lesson and find a way to take action.. It really pushed us to also get our snorkeling and enjoy the marine life more too!

Really harrowing to see the kids reaction to the dead turtle. Definitely makes you want to cut down on waste.
