Turtle Bio Page

Hei Hei is a lovably clueless and perpetually confused animal who stumbles through life from one near-accident to the next. To help their fellow animal friends who may also get mixed-up, Hei Hei is swimming in this year’s Tour de Turtles, sponsored by Disney Conservation Fund, to help raise awareness for an important cause: light pollution! Sea turtles need our help turning off lights near nesting sites so they can be guided by the natural light of the moon on their journey to the sea. Hei Hei may not always know what’s going on but does want to do their part to keep beaches safe for nests and hatchlings so they can create their own path across the ocean, just like Moana.

I was named by my Sponsor, Disney Conservation Fund. Check out my marathon migration map, where you can follow along as I swim to raise awareness about the threat of Light Pollution to sea turtles. Please help me raise awareness about my cause by supporting me!
