EWS-WWF Marine Turtle Conservation Project

Marine turtles are loved by many, but sadly their very existence is under threat due to the increasing pressures human activities are having on their environments, from habitat loss to unintentional capture in fisheries.

The Marine Turtle Conservation Project was launched in 2010 by Emirates Wildlife Society in association with WWF (EWS-WWF) to better understand the conservation needs of the turtles in the Gulf. This project is now in its third year and during the 2012 nesting season has tagged 31 turtles from across 3 countries.

Focusing its attention on the critically endangered Hawksbill (IUCN Red Listed), the project will in total monitor up to 75 post-nesting female turtles from the region using satellite tracking. Turtles depend on coastal habitats, including coral reefs for feeding and beaches for nesting, and this project will help in identifying important migratory routes and foraging grounds in the region.
