This summer I spent 1 month volunteering for the Archelon Sea Turtle Protection Organisation of Greece. Based in Kyparissia in the Pelopponese, we camped next to the beach and every morning we headed out to the beach to find turtle nests to protect.
The beaches of Greece where the project is stationed hosts the largest amount of sea turtle nests in the Mediterranean and is therefore a vital component of the species survival. You see, sea turtles return to the same beach that they were born at and they don't mix between populations.
Due to human activity - plastic pollution, development on beaches etc - the Loggerhead Sea Turtle is classified as vulnerable. But we are seeing a growth in numbers thanks to conservation efforts!
