Zakynthos:- World Sea Turtle day:- The loggerhead sea turtle Caretta-Caretta (Video)

World Sea Turtle Day, June 16, is a day used to honor and highlight the importance of sea turtles.  The history of the Sea Turtle Conservancy (STC) is forever intertwined with the life and accomplishments of Dr. Archie Carr.

Sea turtles  are ancient animals that have been around since the time of dinosaurs. Although they have been around for millions of years, they’ve remained mostly unchanged. It is important that we continue to do what is necessary.  To preserve these magnificent animals that have been around for 110 million years. To guarantee that they stick around for another 110 million years.

Visitors to Zakynthos can always learn more about the island’s turtles. As well as ARCHELON, who work closely with the Management Body of the National Maritime Park of Zakynthos and local authorities, there is The Exhibition Centre of National Marine Park situated in Daphni, Vasilikos. Dedicated to education and the protection of the turtles, visitors can get a better understanding of the lives of the turtles, their habitat, nesting sites and the incredible work that happens in order to protect them. There are local companies on Zakynthos who work closely with ARCHELON in order to try and support the turtles, as they have the interest of the endangered species at heart, especially when it comes to seeing the turtles close up.
