🌊🐢 Spotlight on Marion Schönian - Dedicated

🌊🐢 Spotlight on Marion Schönian - Dedicated Turtle Watcher! 🐢🌊

We are thrilled to celebrate the incredible efforts of Marion Schönian, a dedicated turtle watcher at Lahami Bay Beach Resort House Reef! 🏖️ Last summer, Marion reported an impressive 20 turtle sightings, helping us identify several known individuals. Her dedication also led to the registration of two new turtles, including Daggi—previously spotted by Christine Janczik and Dagmar Hauptmann, but not officially registered until now, thanks to Marion's detailed observations! 📸✨

Marion also attended one of our Turtle Talks at the Lahami Bay Hotel, further demonstrating her passion for marine conservation. Her invaluable contributions are a testament to the power of citizen science in protecting marine wildlife! 🌍🙏
