Sabira: A Story of Patience, Endurance, and Protection
Meet Sabira, a green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) who embodies the spirit of the Red Sea.
First encountered in 2026 in the waters of Hermes Bay, Sabira was officially registered in the TurtleWatch Egypt catalog by dedicated citizen scientist Steven Peeters, who strongly advocated for her inclusion in our symbolic adoption program.
Her name, Sabira, is Arabic for patience and endurance, a fitting tribute to the resilience of marine life in our oceans.
By symbolically adopting Sabira, you directly support our long-term photo-ID monitoring, research, and sea turtle conservation efforts across the Egyptian Red Sea.
