Meet Olaf – The Gentle Grazer of Marsa Mubarak

Say hello to Olaf, one of the newest additions to our Turtle Watch Egypt family!
This beautiful green sea turtle was recently identified and registered in our catalog by Volker Wollert, a dedicated supporter and sea guardian who has been helping us monitor the magical bay of Marsa Mubarak.

Olaf is a calm and curious turtle, often seen gently gliding through the shallow waters, minding her own business and doing what she loves most: munching on delicious seagrass! 🌱💚

She can spend hours grazing peacefully on the seagrass meadows, which are not just her favorite food — they’re also vital for the health of our oceans. As she feeds, Olaf helps keep the ecosystem balanced and thriving, proving that even the smallest bite can make a big difference.

Though she’s only recently joined our catalog, Olaf has already made a big impression with her laid-back nature and steady routine. She reminds us of the beauty of living slowly, being present, and taking care of the world beneath the waves.

🛟 By adopting Olaf, you’re helping us protect her home, support our conservation efforts in Marsa Mubarak, and ensure that turtles like her continue to swim free and safe.
