Myself and my friends (Nick, Bill, and Nick's dad) journeyed out along Florida's Gulf Coast with the hopes of finding a rarely seen turtle species the diamondback terrapin. We also encountered a lot of unexpected wildlife along the way from dolphins to even a young tiger shark. This was easily one of the wildest saltwater habitats I have ever explored, and I'm super thankful to Nick for inviting us to come along in their boat to explore this amazing ecosystem he and his dad know so well. Exploring the seagrass beds of the flats was pretty high on my Florida list. This is my 10th YT video thank you all so much for 200 subs!
