Stephie the Green Turtle: A Makadi Bay Gem

Meet Stephie, a graceful green turtle who calls Makadi Bay her home. First recorded on December 4, 2022, by Stephanie Hempelmann, Stephie has become a cherished part of this vibrant marine environment.

Observed resting in the serene waters of Makadi Bay, Stephie’s presence underscores the importance of this habitat for green turtles. Her sighting highlights the critical role that such areas play in providing safe spaces for resting and feeding.

By virtually adopting Stephie, you can support our efforts in conserving her habitat and ensuring that this beautiful green turtle continues to thrive. Join us in celebrating and protecting the marine wonders of Makadi Bay Reef.
