📣 Italian version in the comments!
Back to School — for the Turtles! 🐢📚✨
We just wrapped up the second round of our Sea Turtle Workshop at @scuolatavelli in Ravenna — this time with 32 incredibly curious and energetic second-grade students! 💥

With the wonderful coordination of teachers Barbara and Roberta, we dove once again into the world of sea turtles, exploring their biology, the threats they face, and how each of us can help protect them and the ocean. 🌊🐢

It was such a joy to see how attentive and engaged the children were — asking questions, solving riddles, and playing together with creativity and care. We had a lot of fun and were amazed by their enthusiasm and quick thinking. Who knows? Maybe some future marine biologists were among us! 🧠💙

Thank you once again to the whole school, the teachers, and especially the kids — you inspire us to keep doing what we do! 🐢💼
More turtle adventures to come soon…

🌊🐢 Grateful for a meaningful collaboration with the University of Sussex !

After a rich and productive stay in Marsa Shagra Village and Marsa Nakari Village , we had the chance to wrap things up with a quick but memorable visit to the TurtleWatch Egypt office—just before our colleagues from the University of Sussex headed back to the UK.

It was a pleasure to once again work alongside Dr. Valentina Scarponi, Dr. Ellen Rotheray, and MRes student Aimee–Jane Lowles as part of their annual Egypt Field Course, with a focus on coral reefs and marine turtle monitoring. The time spent together in the field was not only scientifically valuable but also full of energy, motivation, and shared purpose.

We loved having you with us, and it was such a joy to take a group photo with everyone proudly wearing their new TurtleWatch Egypt t-shirts—thank you for supporting our project and becoming part of our community.

Huge thanks also to our partners at Red Sea Diving Safari for their continuous support in making this collaboration possible. We’re already looking forward to building more shared experiences and research in the Red Sea.

Safe travels, and see you again soon! 🐢💚
