A record 224 turtle nests were recorded this year on beaches within the British bases (SBAs), the SBA reported on Monday.
The milestone, achieved between May and October, reflects more than 20 years of consistent protection of endangered Green (Chelonia mydas) and Loggerhead (Caretta caretta) turtles.
The SBAs’ conservation programme operates under a minimum-intervention policy designed to protect natural habitats while reducing human disturbance. The work is supported by legislation
