SOS Tartarugas works in Cape Verde protecting nesting loggerheads turtles (Caretta caretta) and their habitat. Cape Verde is the third most important nesting area for loggerheads in the world. Turtles are at risk from hunting for meat, stealing of eggs, removal of sand for building and unregulated tourism development. Our email is info@turtlesos.org.

Sea Turtle Symposium


It's a whole new world for me... who would have thought that every year thousands of 'turtlers' meet at a symposium to tell each other what they and the turtles have been up to? This year it was in Brisbane, a fine excuse for me to come over and visit friends and family at the same time. Four days of really interesting presentations and discussion, catching up with friends and making some new ones too. I had the opportunity to make a short presentation and display two posters. Enjoyed the good food too, especially the cakes!
