Sea turtles are charismatic animals commonly found in coral reefs and seagrass meadows, where they rest and feed. The Red Sea shores serve as the breeding ground for two of the seven known sea turtle species, both of which are globally endangered. However, these Red Sea turtle populations are poorly understood, highlighting the importance of studying and protecting them, as their health provides a crucial indication of the ecosystem's health.

We are committed to protecting, managing, and sustaining thriving Red Sea coral reef ecosystems and healthy sea turtle populations. To achieve this goal, we are strategically working on a series of projects that focus on establishing baseline assessments and habitat maps to estimate the natural capital of Red Sea reefs in Saudi Arabia and assess the overall status of sea turtle populations. Additionally, we are implementing a holistic restoration approach for degraded reefs and establishing rehabilitation strategies for unhealthy sea turtles.
