Guests who take part in take part in the “Sea Turtle Flop” activity must flip special chips into safe turtle habitat.

Each year more and more countries and groups have been marking June 8 on their calendars as a day to celebrate our oceans and our personal connection to the sea. Remember, no matter where we live we are all connected to the oceans, and any action you take that reduces waste, saves water or keeps it clean, protects ocean wildlife or reduces emissions helps our oceans.
