Frannie – The Steadfast Survivor
Frannie, a hawksbill turtle, has been observed consistently at Gabel Rosas since 2016, with sightings recorded almost every year, including as recently as 2024.
Known for her resilience, Frannie has survived numerous challenges in the wild, making her a symbol of perseverance for her species.
Her frequent returns to Gabel Rosas remind us of the importance of conserving critical nesting and feeding grounds for endangered species like hawksbills.
