Turtle Yougs

Yougs: The Rising Star

In the vibrant corridors of Sha’ab Quais, a new face is making waves. Meet Yougs, a spirited sub-adult hawksbill recently identified by Amandine Chanvrier. Not quite a juvenile but not yet a fully grown adult, Youngs represents the “teenagers” of the turtle world—full of energy and constantly on the move between the corals.

Yougs is at a fascinating stage of life, growing fast and exploring the reef with fearless curiosity. Adopting Yougs is an invitation to follow a journey of growth. Your support helps us protect the “nursery” areas where sub-adults like Yougs learn the secrets of the reef before heading out into the deep blue.
