Video by @jim_abernethy // A Gorgeous Green turtle using a Gorgonian to scratch it back, proving that Turtles are definitely sentient creatures that enjoy a good shell rub! Remember it is against the law to touch them! Sadly over 1000 sea turtles have died in the last year because of Red Tide! Please help me end one of the leading causes, government santioned poisoning of our aquifers...our drinking water! Link to the petition and more information can be found in me bio! Thanks so much to the 166K that already have! Please tag your friends and help me end this! I believe all anim as ls are sentient creatures, what do you believe? @jim_abernethy @sealegacy @wildlifevoiceinc #TurningTheTide #conservation #saveplanetearth #lovenature #Bethechangetheworldneeds #toxic18 #bluegreenalgae #SaveFlorida #glyphosate #iloveflorida #protectwildlife #stopthepoison #iloveturtles #stopneedlessslaughter #cleanwaterji https://www.instagram.com/p/CDKSVHNJuGJ/?igshid=17wmgdjlgpj15

Image by @jim_abernethy // Interacting with Wild Dolphins in their world is definitely one of the most enjoyable wild animal interactions I've had the pleasure of experiencing! Frequently, like these dolphins here they will have sex right in front of us! These very intelligent social creatures appear to be having lots of fun all the time! We run 2 different trips to experience their world with them. One is our Wild Dolphin Encounters trip for snorkelers and the other is our Marinelife Overload trip! These wild dolphins are just one of the species were experiencing during our new summer live-aboard trip called..."Marinelife Overload"! We will be targeting encounters with the large aquatic life of both Bahamas and Florida! In the Bahamas we will visit the Little Bahama Bank for Tiger Beach for sharks and the Sugar Wreck for Sea Turtles and other abundant marine life with gorgeous healthy corals. On the Great Bahama Bank we will experience the World's Friendliest Wild Dolphins, Atlantic Spotted Dolphins as well as the Sapona Wreck! In Florida we will spend time with Goliath Grouper that aggregate on our beautiful ship wrecks, as well as up to 5 species of Sea Turtles that reside on our vibrantly colored reefs and wrecks! So there is no question why we labeled it..."Marinelife Overload"! DM me with your email address if your interested in receiving more information on either of these trips! Enjoy but Please Protect! @jim_abernethy @sea_legacy @wildlifevoiceinc #TurningTheTide #ilovedolphins #epicencounters #dolphins #saveplanetearth #lovenature #beautiful #epic #love #gorgeous #fun #SaveFlorida #endglyphosate #cleanwater #stopthepoison #lovenature #needlessslaughter #protectwildlife (at The Bahamas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAsIXL-poBv/?igshid=ljv56jrf74dv

Image by @jim_abernethy // in the cetaceans world, this species is known as the friendliest wild dolphins worldwide...The Atlantic Spotted Dolphins of the Bahamas! This image was shot during our amazingly calm and crystal clear waters of our Bahamian summers! To be able to interact with them on there terms in their world is humbling, amazing and definitely life changing! In fact I'm almost speechless trying to come up with words describing how it makes me feel! We still have space aboard if your interested in joining us this summer! Contact my office at the link in my bio for more info so you can join us soon. In Florida our wild dolphins and many other wildlife had massive death numbers that is most accurately described as "death of biblical proportions" as a result of Red Tide that was fueled heavily by phosphorus and nitrates! I believe the main cause was 4 decades of Government Sanctioned Poisoning of our Rivers, lakes and Aquifers with Glyphosate and other terrible chemicals that are killing everything! In 2017 the Aquatic Plant Management of FWC increased the active ingredient of glyphosate 250% and increased the number of gallons sprayed by 25% to nearly 1 million gallons! The hurricane churned up these chemicals that were accumulating in the mud as dead plants, forcing it through Lake Okeechobee to the east and west killing everything in its path! Glyphosate is a registered antibiotic that kills the immune system of all creatures, including humans! We must stop our government from killing everything! Please, please please help by going to the links in my bio! @jim_abernethy @wildlifevoiceinc @sealegacy #TurningTheTide #redtide #wilddolphins #savedolphins #saveoceans #paradise #beautiful #glyphosate #iloveflorida #protectwildlife #endglyphosate #cleanwater #stopthepoison #carcinogen #needlessslaughter #atlanticspotteddolphin ilovedolphins #wilddolphinencounters #conservation #gorgeous #Bethechangetheworldneeds (at The Bahamas) https://www.instagram.com/jim_abernethy/p/ByNHVxmpSeq/?igshid=ma4c6pnp8v0k

Image by @jim_abernethy // Learning to Scuba Dive and snorkel at a very early at definitely opened up an unimaginable world to me that I'm forever grateful for! This vibrantly colored Queen Angel is one of the many examples of how beautiful the creatures are! As I look closely at her, I'm humbled blessed and inspired to fight relentlessly to save all our planets wildlife and habitats! Unfortunately for me it is this same long period of time observing the underwater and terrestrial wildlife that brings insurmountable sadness as my early baseline made me watch entire large populations of sharks and other species disappear because of my species! Most of our species is driven to success, thinking that financial freedom is what success it! Very few think like I do! True success is happiness! For me this comes when your mind, your heart, your actions and your drive are all in alignment doing great things for all fellow earthlings, humans and all wildlife! Many of you are pleading with me for solutions on how to help our Amazon and our Planet! Here it is! Right now with the immense destruction of our amazon mostly for the Agricultural Animal industry, clearly the very best thing you can do is to lesson the amount of animals you eat, consider going vegetarian or better than that, become vegan like me! I'm very proudly Vegan as My health has never been better and I know it is exactly what the planet needs most! Agricultural Animal industries are the leading cause of many of the world's worst problems such as: 1 Globalwarming 2 Rainforest Destruction 3 Ocean & Land Dead Zones 4 Species Extinction 5 Water Depletion & Pollution 6 Habitat Loss 7 Western Civilization Decease 8 Eastern Civilization Starvation 9 Animal Exploitation, Suffering & Killing Please consider making food choice changes to help our planet and your health! @jim_abernethy @wildlifevoiceinc @sealegacy #TurningTheTide #vegan #veganfornature #loveanimals #worldissues #beautiful #habitatloss #rainforestdestruction #speciesextinction #waterdepletion #globalwarming #bethevoice #stopneedlessslaughter #cleanwater #stopthepoison #lovenature #Bethechangetheworldneeds (at Phil Foster Park at Blue Heron Bridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1i9ShCpYMt/?igshid=521jqycx75j3

Image by @jim_abernethy // The American Alligator is one of the perfect examples of great conservation efforts. This species was hunted to the brink of extinction by the 1970's. In 1967 it was put on the endangered list. The huge demand for their skin and meat nearly wiped them out however huge conservation efforts actually reversed their collapse and the American Alligator is no longer on the endangered list! Cousteau said it best, "We only protect what we love! I love all wildlife, so thank YOU very much for all your help! My favorite Alligator in the wild, Fluffy! Join me in the everglades to see our beautiful wildlife for yourself. Please sign the petition in my bio to end the spraying of nearly 1 million gallons of glyphosate, a registered antibiotic in our aquifers where 90% of our drinking water comes from! This is the cause of all of the worst Red Tides and will continue to be until we stop it! @jim_abernethy @wildlifevoiceinc @sealegacy #TurningTheTide #everglades #stopthepoison #saveplanetearth #redtide #toxic18 #bluegreenalgae #SaveFlorida #glyphosate #iloveflorida #protectwildlife #endglyphosate #cleanwater #saveprotectedanimals #savetheeverglades #bethechangetheworldneeds #savewildlife #protectwhatyoulove #ilovecrocodileans #ilovewildlife #epicimages #sustainable #saveplanetearth #conservation #jimabernethysscubaadventures (at Dupuis Management Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz1jglipgtJ/?igshid=jsox2z6m5vrg

This time of year Loggerhead turtles congregate off the coast of Florida to nest on our beaches. Florida hosts 90% of all the nests from the atlantic loggerhead population. Adults can weigh between 200 and 300 lbs. Females lay an average of 4 clutches of eggs every 3 years between April and September. Each clutch contains roughly 114 eggs. Roughly 600 sea turtles have been killed by the Toxic Red tide this year! We must vote for the environment/clean water in order to fix it! Please help these turtles, all wildlife and people by signing and sharing the petition in my bio! What my small team have discovered isn't a cure all, but it is the only thing in my opinion that can be done immediately to slow down the massive nutrient issue that is feeding both the blue/green algae as well as the toxic Red Tide! I'm extremely grateful to the 150K+ that already have!
