The Star of Hermes Bay: Meet Uzzo

Every once in a while, a turtle comes along that simply captures the heart of everyone it meets. That is exactly what happened with Uzzo, a stunning Green sea turtle and one of the newest residents of Hermes Bay.

Uzzo’s journey into our catalog is a special one, thanks to Georg Ivan. After meeting Uzzo in the turquoise waters of the bay, Georg was so touched by its gentle spirit that he insisted it become a part of our adoption program, ensuring this beautiful creature gets the recognition and protection it deserves.

Uzzo is what we like to call a "curious soul." While many turtles are shy, Uzzo seems to have a natural fascination with the world around it. It is often seen gliding gracefully through the seagrass, occasionally pausing to take a long, curious look at its surroundings, as if it’s trying to memorize every coral and every fish in the bay. There is a sense of quiet wonder in the way it moves, making every encounter feel like a peaceful conversation between species.

By adopting Uzzo, you are fulfilling Georg’s wish to see this turtle protected and monitored for years to come. Your support helps us safeguard the pristine habitat of Hermes Bay, allowing Uzzo to continue its curious explorations in a safe and healthy ocean.
