Life TURTLENEST

KEEP THEM SAFE.

Life TURTLENEST aims to create an international network to protect the nesting sites of the sea turtle Caretta caretta and mitigate the human impacts on the shores and beaches that fall within egg-laying areas.

The main goal is to improve the conservation of the loggerhead turtles. The project aims to mitigate threats to the species in Italy (in 7 regions along 4,800 km of sandy coasts), Spain (1,600 km, corresponding to the country’s full coastline) and France (1,500 km) in order to protect new nesting habitats and foster successful sea turtle reproduction.
