Turtles of the Red Sea

Scientists currently recognize seven living species of sea turtles  worldwide, five of which can be found in the Red Sea: the green turtle ,  the hawksbill turtle, the leatherback turtle , the loggerhead turtle  and the olive-ridley turtle. but only three species are frequently  observed in the Egyptian Red Sea and they are:

• The Green Turtle

• The Loggerhead Turtle

• The Hawksbill Turtle

Learn more about their ecology, threats, behavior and conservation  status. We will also introduce the code of conduct and best practicies  for snorkeling and diving with them and provide volunteer in  conservation opportunities through our citizen science program Red Sea Turtle Project.
