He loves sea turtles because they are strong yet peaceful, and he’s fascinated by their long journeys in the ocean. After he’s encountered one while fishing, he became intentional about protecting their environment and the waters they depend on.
He is an avid young fisherman who absolutely loves being out on the water. Beyond fishing, he cares deeply about protecting the ocean and its wildlife. He hopes to become a marine biologist when he grows up so he can help support ocean conservation efforts.
