It is the first time that green turtles in this important area have been tracked by satellite. We aim to map priority marine habitats around these nesting beaches, which are among the most important in the Mediterranean, to establishing protection for nesting green turtles at sea.<br> <br>We are also tracking loggerhead turtles nesting at Alagadi to find areas of the Mediterranean Sea that might be important feeding grounds.<br> <br>In collaboration with small-scale fisheries, we are tracking both green and loggerhead turtles foraging in Famagusta Bay. We want to better understand fisheries bycatch, toward reducing the death toll in this region. For this project we ask fishermen to return to port those live turtles that are hauled in their nets so that we can attach a transmitter and release them back to the capture site. This project is particularly exciting as it includes the first juvenile green and loggerhead turtles and the first male loggerheads to be tracked from the island.<br> <br>The project is supported by the Mediterranean Basin Program of the MAVA foundation and is a collaboration between University of Exeter and Birdlife International with Enalia Physis, Birdlife Cyprus and Society for Protection of Turtles implementing work on the ground.<br><br>Kaplumba&#287;alar&#305; Koruma Cemiyeti, ilk defa 2018 y&#305;l&#305;nda Karpaz bölgesinde yuvalayan kaplumba&#287;alar&#305; uydu vericisi ile takip etmeye ba&#351;lad&#305;. Çal&#305;&#351;malar özellikle ye&#351;il kaplumba&#287;alar (Chelonia mydas) üzerinde gerçekle&#351;tirilmekte. Bu çal&#305;&#351;ma sayesinde Akdeniz'in en önemli ye&#351;il kaplumba&#287;a yuvalama sahillerini bar&#305;nd&#305;ran Karpaz bölgesindeki ye&#351;il kaplumba&#287;alar&#305;n öncelikli denizsel ya&#351;am alanlar&#305;n&#305; belirlemeyi ve türün korunmas&#305;na yönelik de&#287;erli bilgiler edinmeyi amaçl&#305;yoruz.<br><br>Ayni zamanda Alagadi'de yumurtlayan iri ba&#351;l&#305; deniz kaplumba&#287;alar&#305; (Caretta caretta) da uydu vericileri ile takip ederek bu tür için önemli beslenme alanlar&#305;n&#305; belirlemeye çal&#305;&#351;&#305;yoruz.<br><br>Küçük ölçekli bal&#305;kç&#305;lar ile i&#351;birli&#287;inde gerçekle&#351;tirdi&#287;imiz çal&#305;&#351;malar kapsam&#305;nda Ma&#287;usa körfezinde beslenen ye&#351;il kaplumba&#287;a ve iri ba&#351;l&#305; deniz kaplumba&#287;alar&#305;n&#305; da uydu vericileri ile takip ediyoruz. Bu çal&#305;&#351;ma sayesinde deniz kaplumba&#287;alar&#305; ve bal&#305;kç&#305;l&#305;k çat&#305;&#351;mas&#305;n&#305;n boyutunu daha iyi anlamay&#305; ve kaplumba&#287;a ölüm oranlar&#305;n&#305; azaltacak çözümler üretmeyi umuyoruz. Bu proje kapsam&#305;nda bal&#305;kç&#305;lardan a&#287;lar&#305;na tak&#305;lan kaplumba&#287;alar&#305; uydu vericisi tak&#305;l&#305;p yakalanma bölgelerine yeniden sal&#305;nmak üzere limana getirmelerini rica ediyoruz. Bu çal&#305;&#351;ma özellikle birçok genç kaplumba&#287;ay&#305; kapsad&#305;&#287;&#305; için heyecan vericidir. Ayr&#305;ca ayn&#305; proje kapsam&#305;nda adada ilk kez erkek iri ba&#351;l&#305; deniz kaplumba&#287;alar&#305; uydu vericisi ile takip edilmeye ba&#351;lanacakt&#305;r.<br><br>Bu proje MAVA Vakf&#305;'n&#305;n Akdeniz Havzas&#305; Program&#305; kapsam&#305;nda desteklenmekte; Exeter Üniversitesi, Birdlife International ile Enali Physis, Birdlife Cyprus i&#351;birli&#287;i içerisinde gerçekle&#351;tirilmekte ve Kaplumba&#287;alar&#305; Koruma Cemiyeti (SPOT) taraf&#305;ndan uygulanmaktad&#305;r.
