Shelly the Sea Turtle - The Guardian of the Deep
Introduction
In the vast, blue expanse of our oceans, where life flourishes in every corner, Shore Buddies Shelly the Sea Turtle embarks on a critical mission. Known for her graceful swims through coral havens, Shelly isn't just another marine inhabitant; she's a guardian. Today, we share her story and her battle against a silent threat - abandoned fishing gear.

Ghost nets, the remnants of abandoned fishing gear, lurk unseen, ensnaring marine life in a deadly grip. Shelly, embodying the wisdom and patience of the ocean's elders, brings attention to this pressing issue, urging us to act before it's too late.
