The partners of the project “Conservation of Marine Turtle in the Mediterranean Region”, met in Kyparissia Bay in Greece from 04-05 July to pave the way for Phase III. The partners, NGOs and regional institutions like the Specially Protected Areas Regional Activities Center (SPA/RAC) of the UNEP/MAP, that work for sea turtle conservation across the Mediterranean, agreed on specific actions after the close of MAVA Foundation, with the aim to sustain the partnership and the conservation activities around the Mediterranean. 

The Meeting was organised by SPA/RAC and ARCHELON and on day two, a morning survey to identify new nests, under the guidance of ARCHELON team, took place in Kalo Nero in Kyparissia, the core nesting area of the largest nesting site for Caretta caretta sea turtle in the Mediterranean.

All partners reconfirmed their will to continue working together.

 “There is no magic wand that MPAs use and make every threat disappear. Often you have to find the right balance and the tools that allow you to address some threats. Also, working with many partners and collaborating is extremely important for the protection of sea turtles” says Susan Gallon, Scientific Officer at MedPAN-network.
