EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in the underwater world of Maui, Hawaii. In this image, a majestic Green Sea Turtle, an endangered species known as Chelonia Mydas, is receiving a thorough shell cleaning from a school of Goldring Surgeonfish (Ctenochaetus Strigosus). The vibrant colors and intricate details of the coral reef provide a stunning backdrop for this symbiotic relationship between two different species. The large group of surgeonfish diligently work together to remove algae and parasites from the turtle's shell, ensuring its health and well-being. The clear blue waters of the Pacific Ocean create an idyllic setting for this extraordinary display of marine life. As we observe this scene from the side view, we can appreciate the size and gracefulness of both the turtle and its fish companions. This photograph serves as a reminder not only of the beauty that exists beneath our oceans but also highlights the importance of protecting these fragile ecosystems. With sea turtles facing numerous threats to their survival, including habitat destruction and pollution, it becomes even more crucial to raise awareness about their conservation. Dave Fleetham's skillful photography allows us to witness firsthand one small aspect of nature's wonders – showcasing how different species can coexist harmoniously in their natural environment.
