Description

Original provider: University of Exeter Dataset credits: Data provider Marine Turtle Research Group Originating data center <a href='http://www.seaturtle.org/tracking/' target='_blank'>Satellite Tracking and Analysis Tool (STAT)</a> Project partner http://www.cyprusturtles.org/ Project sponsor or sponsor description http://en.mava-foundation.org/our-programmes/mediterranean-basin/ Abstract: This year Society for Protection of Turtles are tracking green turtles nesting in the Karpaz region. It is the first time that green turtles in this important area have been tracked by satellite. We aim to map priority marine habitats around these nesting beaches, which are among the most important in the Mediterranean, to establishing protection for nesting green turtles at sea. We are also tracking loggerhead turtles nesting at Alagadi to find areas of the Mediterranean Sea that might be important feeding grounds. In collaboration with small-scale fisheries, we are tracking both green and loggerhead turtles foraging in Famagusta Bay. We want to better understand fisheries bycatch, toward reducing the death toll in this region. For this project we ask fishermen to return to port those live turtles that are hauled in their nets so that we can attach a transmitter and release them back to the capture site. This project is particularly exciting as it includes the first juvenile green and loggerhead turtles and the first male loggerheads to be tracked from the island. The project is supported by the Mediterranean Basin Program of the MAVA foundation and is a collaboration between University of Exeter and Birdlife International with Enalia Physis, Birdlife Cyprus and Society for Protection of Turtles implementing work on the ground. Kaplumbağaları Koruma Cemiyeti, ilk defa 2018 yılında Karpaz bölgesinde yuvalayan kaplumbağaları uydu vericisi ile takip etmeye başladı. Çalışmalar özellikle yeşil kaplumbağalar (Chelonia mydas) üzerinde gerçekleştirilmekte. Bu çalışma sayesinde Akdeniz'in en önemli yeşil kaplumbağa yuvalama sahillerini barındıran Karpaz bölgesindeki yeşil kaplumbağaların öncelikli denizsel yaşam alanlarını belirlemeyi ve türün korunmasına yönelik değerli bilgiler edinmeyi amaçlıyoruz. Ayni zamanda Alagadi'de yumurtlayan iri başlı deniz kaplumbağaları (Caretta caretta) da uydu vericileri ile takip ederek bu tür için önemli beslenme alanlarını belirlemeye çalışıyoruz. Küçük ölçekli balıkçılar ile işbirliğinde gerçekleştirdiğimiz çalışmalar kapsamında Mağusa körfezinde beslenen yeşil kaplumbağa ve iri başlı deniz kaplumbağalarını da uydu vericileri ile takip ediyoruz. Bu çalışma sayesinde deniz kaplumbağaları ve balıkçılık çatışmasının boyutunu daha iyi anlamayı ve kaplumbağa ölüm oranlarını azaltacak çözümler üretmeyi umuyoruz. Bu proje kapsamında balıkçılardan ağlarına takılan kaplumbağaları uydu vericisi takılıp yakalanma bölgelerine yeniden salınmak üzere limana getirmelerini rica ediyoruz. Bu çalışma özellikle birçok genç kaplumbağayı kapsadığı için heyecan vericidir. Ayrıca aynı proje kapsamında adada ilk kez erkek iri başlı deniz kaplumbağaları uydu vericisi ile takip edilmeye başlanacaktır. Bu proje MAVA Vakfı'nın Akdeniz Havzası Programı kapsamında desteklenmekte; Exeter Üniversitesi, Birdlife International ile Enali Physis, Birdlife Cyprus işbirliği içerisinde gerçekleştirilmekte ve Kaplumbağaları Koruma Cemiyeti (SPOT) tarafından uygulanmaktadır. This dataset is a summarized representation of the telemetry locations aggregated per species per 1-degree cell.

Data Records
