(Detailed information can be obtained via e-mail)

1-) Nest relocation: Relocation of the nests more likely to be inundated, predated or under public traffic.

2-) Nest protection: Screening of the nests against predation or caging the nests.

3-) Embryonic Development of Sea turtles: The developmental stages and developmental differences are being investigated on different beaches.

4-) Sex determinatin: The sex ratios of the nests are being estimated by measuring nest temperatures via temperature loggers.

5-) Rescue and Rehabilitation: Injured turtles are going to be treated at the Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center.

6-) Genetic Research: The genetic variety of the Mediterranean sea turtle population are being investigated by using mtDNA control region sequences.

7-) Pollution: The heavy metal analyses are being investigated by using turtle hatchling and adult tissues.
