30.07.2010 Republic
] [[The number of slots on the beaches of Belek, where caretta caretta carettas have custody assets for more than 100 million years on the world, just as in the number of tourists. Belek's caretta carettas reported that Greece's Zakinthos Island, the largest lies in the Mediterranean.
[[T]]Special Environmental Protection Authority, Belek Tourism Investors Association (BETUYAP), Hacettepe University (HÜ) and Ecological Research Association (EKAD), started to reduce adversely affecting sea turtles by conservative with tourism facilities, "Sea Turtles Protection Project accessible 12th year. Caretta carettas, which are depleted with the project, found life again on the beach of Belek. [[[T]] [[EKAD President Dr. Ali Fuat Canbolat noted that the work was carried out to protect sea turtles in June-eylül with volunteer students for 12 years, and as a result of these studies, the number of nests in Belek beaches increased levels. [
Canbolat reported that the number of nesting areas in the beach of 30 kilometers with the recent detections refusal that they detected 400 nests in the region.
]Canbolat, who tells the work on June 12 with the contract signed with the Private Environmental Protection Authority, spoke as follows:
]]]]' One of our basic is to carry out activities of the protection of sea turtles, to conduct tracking work. Since the region is an important sea turtle nesting beach, it is necessary to monitor long-term. It is necessary to consider in fluctuations, problems and solutions of such problems in population. At the same time, we work on the protection of nests in order to protect people in the tourist area. '
] [Canbolat, indicating that they have a total of 260 slots, including 530, Belek Tourism Zone 730 in the area of Private Environmental Protection Authority in particular, gave the following information:
]]'This is actually the highest number of slots we detected in the region. There wasn’t a rolling season or season. We believe that we are going to pass 300 thousand easily with slots to be saved during the puppies exit period. This is the largest number of slots ever detected. This figure is very important in terms of the whole of Belek. [
]]]'s name of the Dalyan
]]] [email protected]Ali Fuat Canbolat, who defended that is the most important nesting area of Turkey in the caretta nesting said Ali Fuat Canbolat is more slots than Dalyan in Belek. [
]'Dalyan comes from caretta, Canbolat, who said, "But this is a much larger nesting area. There are more important to work here. There is a large number of nesting areas. The name of Dalyan was... "We talked about.
Canbolat, which draw attention that the largest nesting beach in the sea dish is the Zakinthos Island of Greece, ending his words as follows:
]]]'Orada had nesting around 2 thousand. Now this figure was slightly down. Finally, around 500 thousand slots. This year may have fallen down even more. If we take over 300 thousand, they also fall, the most important nesting area in this regard will pass to us. So we race with Greece in natural life as it is in tourism sector.
It is important chance for us that animals come here. The tourist resort owners who prohibited this, have vision, care for the protection measures. As a result, there are a lot of nests in some of them, in front of some facilities. These animals are also important for the prestige of tourist facilities there. If a guest can still enter the sea in a beach where the turtles are still nested, it is a great success for both the facility and the country. If you stay at me, caretta carettas are our tourist ambassadors.
]]]] The biggest problem is "merak"]]
Canbolat reported that in a nest the average is 80-100 eggs, 40% of these eggs reach the sea. Canbolat, who succeeded in reaching the sea, but in the wind of the threat for caretta carettas, attention to the fact that at the wind of the "fax" of people.
A Ali Fuat Canbolat, says that some unconscious people are digging nests or attempting to carry out the sea with their hands, in such cases, the same sandy beach of the kittens could not find one more.
[Canbolat, which emphasizes the use of the wrong altbeds and breaks in the venative, said:
]]seconds, the use of gel is associated with accidents and the use of light damage to carettas. We train both citizens and tourist facilities. Caretta carettas lay eggs on average 35 meters. We try not to be placed in this area. Facilities are also supported by us. Umbrellas also have a problem in random gravel. Slots are thickened. There are no chromosomes of sea turtles. The incubation temperature specifies sex. If the female is above 29 degrees, the male is out of the nest. If you put shade on the slot for a long time, you are effective in temperature. Thus, male turtle goes instead of female from the nest. So an umbrella can affect the partner of the puppy.

]]]]]30person teamwork
Ali Fuat Canbolat reported that this year they work with a group of 30 people, scan the beaches in various hours of the day and deleting nesting areas and offspring outlets. [
[Canbolat, which tells you that this point was determined by GPS coordinate, also expressed the distance of the nest to the sea. [
[Canbolat said they have received various measures to protect the veins, canbolat reported that people put the signs that show the nest in the where they are divided and place cage on them, the predators of sea turtles reported that they had caged on the surface as well as in the region where they are among.
