Location:
Can you imagine a sight more heart warming than watching baby turtles, newly hatched from their little eggs, running towards the wavy seas as they face their new life? This is a common occurrence that you can take part in to watch in certain beaches in North Cyprus. The mother turtle will typically come to shore in the middle of the night to lay her eggs, after she has left her 20th birthday behind and is mature enough to mate. The mother turtle visits the North Cyprus shores during the spring month of May to furiously dig down a 40cm deep hole in the sand, where she hide her eggs and keep them protected with a covering of the cool sand until July. The mother turtle’s job is now complete until the baby turtles hatch in July, where they have been developing amidst the cool sands where air is trapped.
Hatching Sea Turtles in Cyprus
In June, two months later, the baby turtles escape from their little holes in the coolest times of the day, in a hectic rush to reach to the sea and begin their life.
The first thing a newly hatched baby turtle does is head towards the nearest light it can see, which means we usually see them scuttling off towards the sea as they see the moons reflection in the sea. However, sadly, this can not always be the case, as most beaches now have buildings and other developments taking place on the coastline, which confuses the newly hatched turtles, causing them to take the wrong direction and most likely not survive. North Cyprus takes great pride in protecting these turtles and has created a safe haven for over 300 green turtles and countless loggerhead turtles by providing special beaches for them to lay their eggs.
Turtle nesting sites in North Cyprus
The green and loggerhead turtles are listed under the endangered species list, and North Cyprus is working very hard to help protect these gentle creatures. SPOT has joined forces with interested and caring groups from a number of British universities to watch the turtles progress and help the baby turtles safely reach the ocean on various beaches in Kyrenia and the Karpaz peninsula.
