Mike: Bent but Bold

On September 26, 2024, Mike was spotted for the first—and so far only—time gliding through the waters of Makadi Bay Reef. What made this green sea turtle stand out was a noticeable deformation in the carapace, a mark of resilience rather than weakness. Despite the irregular shape, Mike moved gracefully, a living reminder that not all survivors wear symmetry. Who knows where the current will take him next?
