RFM5FD8F–A hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata: 100 cms.).These turtles are listed in the IUCN's Red List as critically endangered; far fewer are encountered than was the case twenty years ago. Very sadly, all species of sea turtle are endangered.This is because they become entangled in fishing nets and are adversely affected by pollution and the effects of global warming. Also, their nesting sites are destroyed by coastal development. A more long-standing problem is that their meat and eggs are still highly prized by some people as food. Photographed at Little Brother island, Egyptian Red Sea.

RFMAWYHG–A hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys impricata) with an unusual wrasse companion (Thalassoma klunzingeri: 20 cms.). The turtle was searching for a tasty soft coral. Beige soft corals are becoming more prevalent in the Red Sea; as my images HNB2BP and HNB2BK suggest, hawksbill turtles prefer the red variety! These reptiles are now rare: listed as 'critically endangered' by the IUCN. They become entangled in fishing nets, are adversely affected by climate change and pollution, have their nesting sites eliminated by coastal development and, last but not least, are captured for food. Egyptian Red Sea.
