STORY: Turtle rescue

1
This is Marina. She’s ten.

She lives in Australia.

She’s very interested in marine life.

Today, Marina is on the beach with her family.

She’s looking for shells with her brother.

2
They find some shells.

They also find a green sea turtle,
trapped in a fishing net on the rocks.

The fishing net is too strong.

3
Marina, are you OK?

Where are you going?

I’m going to the aquarium. A turtle needs help.

4
Two hours later, marine biologists
from the aquarium help the turtle.

The turtle is fine, Marina.

He’s about 30 years old.

I’m happy that he’s OK. I love turtles.

5
What are you doing?

We’re putting a GPS on the turtle’s shell.
It doesn’t hurt him.

With the GPS, we can monitor
the turtle from the aquarium.

6
At the end of the day, the turtle swims away
with the GPS on his shell.

Goodbye, Green Sea Turtle.

20 years later, Marina is a marine biologist.

She looks after the animals at the aquarium.

Every summer, Marina goes to the beach.

She swims in the sea.

She’s always happy to see the Green Sea Turtle.

And the turtle’s always happy to see her.
