ARCHELON - Sea Turtles nests 2010, in Greece .wmv

ARCHELON, the Sea Turtle Protection Society of Greece, every year does an effort to improve its projects. During 2010 nesting season all nest locations were precisely recorded with the help of GPS devices. A result of this was to have the geographical coordinates of all turtle nests made at the nesting areas of Greece, i.e. in Laganas Bay (6 beaches), in Kyparissia Bay, in Lakonikos Bay (index area: Mavrovouni beach), in Rethymno, in Bay of Chania (index area: beach sectors H & L), in Messaras Bay (index sectors: A & B), and in Koroni. This significant novelty aims in better protection of nests as well as to find out why turtles prefer specific beach sectors to lay their eggs. The recorded nests during 2010 are presented in this video created by Tom Riggall, ARCHELON's Monitoring Supervisor in 2010.

The layout of the nests on Marathonisi looks nothing like how it did in 2009!
