Description

Little is known of the foraging turtles in Amvrakikos Bay. We have tag returns from turtles that have nested at the three nearby Ionian nesting areas, Kefalonia, Zakynthos and Kyparissia Bay, but when they come and go and where they move around in the bay was unknown. This project has helped to answer some of these important conservation issues.
