Manual on marine turtle conservation in the Mediterranean

Abstract

The present manual attempts to give practical information that may be useful, under Mediterranean conditions, for marine turtle conservation work. It was originally conceived as an aid for the training courses held by the Department of Fisheries of Cyprus, at the Lara Turtle Reserve, for UNEP/MAP sponsored trainees from Mediterranean countries and for volunteers and other scientists working on the Cyprus Turtle Conservation Project . This manual is still seen as a supplement to practical training in turtle conservation techniques.
