The green sea turtle reminds Mr. McLean of swimming in the Pacific Ocean with his wife and daughter, the magic of coming upon a pod of turtles in the wild, and of the grace and gentleness they possess. The koru represents the occasion when Mr. McLean and his son were made honorary iwi (members) of a Maori tribe in New Zealand.
