RESCUE TURTLE PROJECT
17/04/2023
Since last year Nautica Assistance has an agreement with the AMP of Tavolara, thanks to which we are able to promote several actions of the marine park. Among these: educational meetings, cetacean and marine turtles monitoring programs. But among the mentioned programs the most ambitious and effectives stays in the ‘TRACKING TURTLE’ project. The project consists in ‘adopting’ a turtle from the rescue center by sponsoring a tag device that will be applied to the turtle before being set free. This tag will send a signal to the center database for a long period of time (up to 2 years depending on the set requested) giving precious information to the rescue center. The person or company who will apply to this program will be able to have the turtle released in a specific location (always subject to the institute approval which gives priority to the turtle safety), to give a name to the adopted turtle, and to monitor the position signal of the turtle through a link given by the institute, following the voyage of the turtle for the whole period of life of the device. .
