A trip to the idyllic Woppa-Great Keppel Island sparked 12-year-old Noah Belot's keen interest in conservation and, in particular, turtles.
Among the white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, he was lamenting the fact that he kept spotting rubbish.
It was then he was spotted by another environmentally conscious adult who asked if Noah wanted to join the Hatchlings – a group dedicated to turtle conservation.
