Amazing GoPro footage shows turtle eye view of the Great Barrier Reef

WWF have teamed up with GoPro to create something incredible. Watch the video below to see what it’s like for a turtle swimming deep underwater in the Great Barrier Reef.

The footage is so unique it is almost looks like a video game but it’s totally real.

WWF is working on innovative projects in Queensland and as part of that project; a small GoPro camera was attached to a turtle to better understand the behaviour of the species.

On Wednesday, the World Heritage Committee decided against declaring the Great Barrier Reef as ‘in danger’, but says it will closely monitor the situation over the next four years.
