Dorio: The Guardian of Sha’ab Quais
Every reef has its guardian, and at Sha’ab Quais, that role belongs to Dorio. Recently discovered and recorded by Amandine Chanvrier, Dorio is a magnificent adult male hawksbill who commands respect with his presence. Distinguished by his powerful profile and the prominent tail typical of mature males, he is a living testament to the resilience of his species.
Adopting Dorio means supporting a veteran of the Red Sea. He has navigated these currents for decades, and his presence at Sha’ab Quais is a vital sign of a healthy ecosystem. By choosing Dorio, you are helping us monitor the movements of adult males—a crucial but often elusive part of the sea turtle population.
