June is the month when Caretta caretta turtles come ashore and make their nests, and Crete is one of those places. Unfortunately, the beginning of the breeding season coincides with the most intense time in tourism, which means that sunbeds and umbrellas appear on the beaches. Unfortunately, this infrastructure makes it difficult for turtles to move around the beaches and build their nests.
Such a situation was recently observed at Damnoni Beach in Crete. According to the account of one of the witnesses, after coming ashore, the tortoise wandered between deckchairs and umbrellas for 5 hours looking for a place to lay eggs. Two people, seeing this difficult situation, helped the turtle to find a free piece of beach, but in the end the tired animal set up a nest right next to the deckchair.
In the further part of this news you will find a post and photos taken by a witness of this unpleasant situation.
This is very sad information that was posted on social media by one of the witnesses of this event. For many years, the Archelon organization dealing with the protection of Caretta caretta has been publishing information for entrepreneurs running their businesses in the immediate vicinity of beaches. These are simple recommendations, the observance of which is not expensive, and which create safe conditions for turtles at this special time. Unfortunately, as you can see, not everyone cares about the fate of these endangered animals.
In fact, turtles do not set particularly high requirements and during the breeding season it is enough to follow a few simple recommendations of Archelon.
