The association works for the protection of the reef of SATAYA REEF located in Egypt. We deliver free samples of certified coral-safe sunscreen to cruise passengers on the association's partner boats. Seadolphin is our first partner.
Donations recorded on the helloasso website Or during the ulule campaign allow you to buy these samples.
The recipients of these samples are invited to show their commitment to the protection of corals by participating in a workshop aimed at finding and photographing a heart-shaped pink coral called "the heart of Sataya".(24°10'18°N 35°40'31'E).

By joining the association, everyone can join in an increasingly shared vision of the importance of choosing the right sunscreen for the protection of corals. (Link to the GEO article which informs of the scientific study which was able to demonstrate the toxicity of the oxybenzone contained in many sunscreens).

A crowdfunding campaign is underway to fund 750 hits for the 2023 season.
A donation of €20 helps protect 5 cruise passengers who will swim twice a day with the dolphins during their week in Sataya. That is 50 outings saved with a suitable sunscreen.

Thank you to all.
David Ricouard, president of the association.



Sataya Lagoon is an incredible place to learn about animal communication if you take the time to let the dolphins come to you.
Below I share my latest video to elicit a reaction with dolphins by making small sounds. I hope to give you the desire to live the experience because this unique emotion is to be shared to raise awareness of a broader vision for the protection of fauna and flora.

A unique and wonderful place

Dolphin Encounter

The Sataya Reef is known for the quality of encounters with dolphins who stay there permanently to rest after their night of hunting in the open sea.
Swimmers are respectful. It is recommended by the supervisors to let the mammals come to you and refrain from touching them.

Corals to preserve

The site is a place to preserve because it allows hundreds of animals to have a habitat with an exceptional coral reef.

Upon arrival on one of our partners' boats, the shoes are stored in a closed space during the stay. Relaxation workshops are offered to become aware of your breathing capacity and improve your comfort in the water. It is not compulsory to practice apnea, the dolphins come to swim between swimmers on the surface of the water.
