Standing with Inwater Research Group

At TurtleWatch Egypt, we stand in full solidarity with our friends at Inwater Research Group in Florida, who have been impacted by the recent hurricane. Their work in marine turtle conservation has been a source of inspiration for us, and their generous donation of the Turtle Trunk has strengthened our efforts in the Red Sea.

No matter the borders, we are united in our shared mission to protect marine turtles and our oceans. Our thoughts are with you: together, we are stronger.

Our thoughts and deepest sympathies also go out to all the communities and individuals affected by the hurricane. In times of adversity, we are reminded of the strength of global unity and support.

🌿🐢 Another Discovery by Ruud: Meet YMKE, the New Green Turtle in Hermes Bay! 🐢🌿

We’re excited to announce the discovery of YMKE, a beautiful green turtle that’s been spotted multiple times in Hermes Bay, thanks to the amazing work of Ruud van den Berg! Through Ruud's continuous efforts and sightings, we’ve been able to register YMKE as a new addition to our turtle family. 🐢✨

YMKE has already been observed more than once, showing how valuable repeated sightings are to our conservation work. You can see YMKE and all the other Hermes Bay turtles on our dedicated page here: https://turtlewatchegypt.net/hermes/ 💻🐢

🌟 Exciting News Thanks to Ruud! 🌟

Following our previous post, we're thrilled to share one of the incredible findings from Ruud's hard work: we’ve officially registered Green Turtle PIET! 🐢

PIET was first spotted by our team back in 2019 and again by other citizen scientists in 2022, but thanks to Ruud’s dedication and his incredible photo identification work this summer, we now have the complete facial profiles needed to fully register this beautiful turtle.

This is a huge step forward in our conservation efforts, and we couldn’t have done it without Ruud’s help! Stay tuned for more exciting updates on PIET and other turtles coming soon. 🐢💙

🌟 Shoutout to Ruud van den Berg, Our Incredible Turtle Watcher in Hermes Bay! 🌟

For years, Ruud has been an essential part of our mission in Hermes Bay, tirelessly contributing to turtle conservation through his dedication to sighting collection and submission, organizing awareness events at @thethreecornersequinox hotel, and engaging the community. 🌊🐢

This past summer, he truly went above and beyond by submitting an impressive 150 turtle sightings! Not only that, but he also jumped into the deep end of our photo identification work, putting in countless hours of effort, passion, and dedication to help us in our work and also better understand and protect these amazing creatures. His contributions have been nothing short of extraordinary, and the findings from his work are incredibly exciting! We can’t wait to share more about them soon.

For now, let's give a huge round of applause to Ruud for his amazing work. 👏👏 Thank you, Ruud, for your relentless support and passion for turtle conservation! 🌍🐢
