🌊🐢 New Registration: A Historic Moment at Ha

🌊🐢 New Registration: A Historic Moment at Happy Life House Reef! 🐢✨

We are delighted to announce the registration of a hawksbill turtle, thanks to the keen eyes of Angelika Wehrmann, who spotted it while diving in Happy Life House Reef! 🐢💙

This turtle has a bit of a history—it was previously seen in 2023 at Marsa Abu Dabbab by Olga Candela, but thanks to Angelika’s recent sighting, we’ve now been able to officially register it. What makes this even more exciting is that this is the first-ever turtle registration for Happy Life House Reef, and we’ve just created a dedicated page for this site! 🎉

📲 Visit the new page to explore more about this site and the amazing marine life it supports: https://turtlewatchegypt.net/happy-life-house-reef/ 🌊✨

A massive thank you to Angelika and Olga for their contributions, helping us expand our knowledge and database. Together, we’re making history for turtle conservation in the Red Sea.

🌊🐢 New Registration: Meet Daniel + Another E

🌊🐢 New Registration: Meet Daniel + Another Exciting Sighting! 🐢✨

We’re thrilled to introduce Daniel, an adult male hawksbill turtle newly registered in our TurtleWatch Egypt catalogue! This incredible discovery was made possible thanks to Cecile Dönhöfer, who spotted Daniel while diving with Orca Dive Club in Gassous Bay. 💙🐢

Daniel isn’t new to TurtleWatch, though—he was first seen in 2023 at the Coral Garden House Reef by Claudia Straube. Thanks to Cecile’s recent sighting, we could confirm and officially register him in our catalogue! 🌊✨

But that’s not all! Cecile also spotted another hawksbill turtle during her dives, which unfortunately cannot be registered just yet. We’ll keep this one in our database and hope for another sighting soon so we can confirm its identity and officially add it to the catalogue. 🐢🔍

A huge thank you to Cecile for her dedication and contributions to marine conservation. Every sighting brings us closer to understanding and protecting these amazing creatures! 💚

🌊 Florine’s Story: A Journey of Resilience 🐢✨

A heartfelt thank you to Verena Hölzle for this meaningful gift to Manni—an adoption of Florine, a truly extraordinary green sea turtle. 🐢💛

Florine’s journey is one of remarkable perseverance. She has faced incredible challenges, including the partial loss of her left rear flipper early in life. In September 2024, Florine tragically lost her right front flipper. Yet, in December 2024, this resilient turtle was sighted again, showing noticeable recovery and proving her incredible will to survive and adapt. 🌟

Every adoption like this directly supports crucial conservation efforts that protect sea turtles and raise awareness about their survival struggles. By choosing to adopt Florine, Verena has contributed to a brighter future for marine life while sharing a beautiful gesture with Manni. 🌊💙

🌿🐢 A New Turtle Joins Tondoba Bay: Meet Claudio! 🌊

We are excited to announce the registration of a new green turtle in Tondoba Bay! This special turtle has been named Claudio, in memory of the grandfather of our team member and marine biologist, Rebecca Montanari.

Rebecca’s deep love for the ocean has always set her apart in her family, a passion she shares with her grandfather, who saw the sea as something truly special. Naming this turtle after him is a meaningful tribute to the bond they had through their shared appreciation for the marine world.
