Erza: The Sleeping Beauty of Marsa Egla

In the serene waters of Marsa Egla, a delightful young green turtle named Erza captivates all who encounter her. From her earliest sightings as a small juvenile to her current graceful presence, Erza’s journey unfolds with enchanting beauty. Spotted 26 times since 2021, Erza has become a beloved resident of the bay. Her curious nature often leads her to explore the underwater wonders, yet it’s her moments of tranquil slumber that have earned her the endearing nickname, “The Sleeping Beauty” of Marsa Egla.
As she continues to grace the bay with her presence, she serves as a gentle reminder of the delicate harmony of marine life. Join us in celebrating the enchanting journey of Erza, and together, let’s ensure the preservation of her cherished home in Marsa Egla for generations to come.
