Manta: The Little Gem of Sha’ab Claude

Small, agile, and incredibly precious: meet Manta. Discovered by Amandine Chanvrier at the beautiful site of Sha’ab Claude, this juvenile hawksbill is one of the newest and youngest additions to our catalog. Named for its graceful, almost bird-like movements through the water, Manta is a reminder of the fragility and beauty of life on the reef.

As a juvenile, Manta’s survival is key to the future of the Red Sea’s turtle populations. Every scute on its shell is a piece of a puzzle we are just beginning to solve. By adopting Manta, you are investing in the long-term future of conservation, ensuring this “little gem” has the chance to grow into a legend of the reef.
