Hi there! My name is Aurélien from France, and I’m the marine biology intern for Reefscapers at Kuda Huraa. I was really excited about this new opportunity, having lived on tropical islands for more than two years, and only recently graduated in marine biology in June. My first two months were intense, and we have been super busy with our turtle rehabilitation patients. The post Aurélien’s Adventures appeared first on Marine Savers ..read more
