🎉🌊 Hello 2025! Reflecting on an Amazing Year! 🌊🎉

2024 was a year of dedication, collaboration, and conservation milestones for TurtleWatch Egypt:
🐢 A total of nearly 10,000 turtle sightings recorded and 830 turtles registered in our database over the years.
👩‍🏫 Workshops and programs for local children, schools, families, tourists, and dive staff, conducted across Egypt in Dahab, Sharm El Sheikh, Hurghada, Safaga, Quseir, Marsa Alam, Wadi Gimal, and Hamata.
📊 Hundreds of sightings analyzed, thanks to the incredible contributions of divers and snorkelers.
🌍 Surveys and research led by our dedicated team to advance marine conservation.

🎤 This year, we proudly made our mark at the ISTS Symposium for the first time:
🏆 Champions Award Winner
🎙️ Presented an oral presentation, two workshops, and at the African Regional Meeting.

As we step into 2025, we're excited to continue protecting marine turtles and their habitats together. Thank you for being part of this journey!

None of this would have been possible without the incredible support of our sponsor, Fourgive, who generously supported us for the past three years. 🙏💙 Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us make a difference!

As we step into 2025, we are seeking new funding opportunities to continue and expand our work. If you can support us or know someone who can, please reach out – together, we can achieve even more for marine conservation! 🌊🐢
