Observed.
One dead specimen, Az Zakhnuniyyah Island, 30 August 2024. Three turtles were observed swimming around Al-Juraid Island, 28 May 2025.
Remarks.
The Hawksbill Sea Turtle was previously observed around Al Jurayd Island ( Aloufi et al. 2023). Gasperetti et al. (1993) indicated several nesting sites in the Arabian Gulf on the coast of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Miller (1989) stated that the offshore islands (e. g., Jana Island) of Saudi Arabia are among the nesting sites for this turtle.
