Layali’s story
Meet Layali, the remarkable green turtle whose movements spans from Marsa Abu Dabbab to Hermes.
Discovered first in Marsa Abu Dabbab on October 29, 2012, Layali quickly became a local legend. Her adventure continued when she was spotted in Hermes on March 27, 2018. Returning to Hermes on April 24, 2019, Layali’s travels highlight the wonders of marine life and the need for conservation.
Join us in celebrating her extraordinary journey by virtually adopting Layali and supporting efforts to protect her oceanic home.
