Well the first seven days have been rather uneventful for us, but it is very early in the season.
There has been some activity noticed with turtles seen mating out at sea so we are hopeful for the next few weeks that we will start seeing some tracks and finding some nests.
Some of the team had a meeting with ARCHELON this week. ARCHELON is the sea turtle protection society of Greece and we follow their advice and guidelines in how we do our walks. Our patrols are all completed under the ARCHELON name and they provide us with training and support for all our volunteers. Why not take a look at their website www.archelon.gr for more information on the great work they do to help the turtles all over Greece and it's islands.
Last year we had our first tracks found on the 28 May with the first nest in our area found on the 30 May...so here's to a good week coming and we hope for the best.
