[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hawksbill turtles have traditionally been hunted around Zanzibar for their attractive shells, and green turtles for their meat. In 1993, with encouragement and assistance from various conservation bodies and some dedicated marine biologists, the local community opened the Mnarani Natural Aquarium

Turtles frequently nest on Nungwi Beach, and village volunteers now mark and monitor new nests. The resulting hatchlings are carried to small plastic basins and small concrete tanks at the aquarium where they remain for ten months. By this time, they have grown to ten inches and their chances of survival at sea are dramatically increased.

Hello Deon,
Nice photo of this Hawksbill Turtle in very beautiful colours. Good sharpness and details. A bit tight in the composition.
Regards,
Peter

Hello Deon

Great focus on the turtle's head, great sharpness
and details of all its body, if you could have
more space around him would be better but
I have read your reply to Peter, TFS

Asbed
