Meet one of the most fascinating animals in our oceans, jellyfish! 🪼

Did you know, they are made up of around 95% water and have no brain or heart? 💦

The Deep is home to several different species of jellyfish, including moon jellyfish which are actually a native species!

Fantastic news for Green sea turtles! 🌊🐢

Previously listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, they have recently been reclassified as Least Concern!

Though there is still a long way to go, this presents an important sign that conservation action is vital to help save species from extinction. 💚
