| Marine Turtle Conservation Project |
|
Marine turtles are loved by many, but sadly their very existence is under threat due to the increasing pressures human activities are having on their environments, from habitat loss to unintentional capture in fisheries.
The three-year Marine Turtle Conservation Project was launched in 2010 by Emirates Wildlife Society in association with WWF (EWS-WWF) to better understand the conservation needs of the turtles in the Gulf. Focusing its attention on the critically endangered Hawksbill (IUCN Red Listed), the project will monitor up to 75 post-nesting female turtles from the region using satellite tracking. Turtles depend on coastal habitats, including coral reefs for feeding and beaches for nesting, and this project will help in identifying these key areas throughout the region.
The Marine Turtle Conservation Project Team has succesfully concluded the second year tagging season by tagging 24 Hawksbill Turtles in 4 countries, namely Iran, UAE, Oman and Qatar.The tagging took place in the months of April and May on 7 different beaches across the region.
