Turtle sightings are rare, as they are on the critically endangered species list. Two days ago, a guest spotted one on the reef while snorkeling. If there is one, there must be others. This is extremely good news! The guest thought it was an ordinary observation and was overwhelmed when we told her. Also, the black spiked sea urchin has been multiplying here in numbers. We have a small colony of baby sea urchins living in a cluster of rocks next to the shore. Black sea urchin adults are all over the reef and along the shoreline. At night they come up to the water edge along our jetty's to catch bugs. Black sea urchins are a good sign the reef is healthy as they are the first ones to disappear when a reef is dying.
