Dave's Images 6

I have enjoyed photography since junior high school many years ago. Capturing the beauty of a moment in a photo is an ultimate experience that I like to share. Living on Guam for 12 years and watching ocean shows such as those by Jacques Cousteau gave me a love for marine life--eventually leading to a degree in biology (marine biology) at the University of Guam. Sea turtles are among the endangered species of the ocean world, and to understand how they can be brought back to full numbers, they must be studied. This young male sea turtle was inadvertently caught in a fish net and was returned to the University of Guam Marine Laboratory for study and tagging before being released to the wild.
