Northern Cyprus 2010 (aggregated per 1-degree cell) Citation Broderick A. 2021. Northern Cyprus 2010. Data originated from Satellite Tracking and Analysis Tool (STAT; http://www.seaturtle.org/tracking/index.shtml?project_id=514). https://marineinfo.org/doc/dataset/8284 Contact: Broderick, Annette ; Availability: ![]() Notes: This dataset is a summarized representation of the telemetry locations aggregated per species per 1-degree cell. Description The turtle project at Alagadi houses around 20 volunteers at any one time over the summer months. This year we have successfully attached seven satellite transmitters to green turtles nesting at Alagadi. The Marine Turtle Research Group has been conducting conservation research and protecting turtle nests in Northern Cyprus since 1992. Alagadi Beach is the eighth largest rookery for green turtles in the Mediterranean, where they are highly endangered, and is also a major nesting beach for loggerhead turtles. An intensive nocturnal monitoring programme allows us to identify each female that lays here and track her breeding success. Wire screens are used to prevent predation of nests by feral dogs at Alagadi and at several other beaches on the North and West Coasts of Northern Cyprus. Satellite tracking continues to be integral to our research, and helps to identify other areas of importance to these species. moreOriginal provider: Marine Turtle Research Group Dataset credits: Data provider Marine Turtle Research Group Originating data center Satellite Tracking and Analysis Tool (STAT) Project partner Project sponsor or sponsor description Supplemental information: Visit STAT's project page for additional information.
