Green Island off the coast of Australia is well known for its beautiful corals and serene seagrass meadows. The calm and shallow waters around the island are home to many of the great barrier reefs diverse inhabitants. Especially the abundance of green sea turtles –admired for their grace and mostly a rare sight due to a dwindling population- draws in many tourists from around the world. The rich green of turtles and seagrass might or might not have played a role in naming the island, but it is definitely a shade of life not found anywhere else.
