As part of our Protect Water Project, Orta Blu, with the aid of our testimonial world record holding free diver Sahika Ercumen, is working with the EKAD NGO (Ecological Research Society) to help in the conservation efforts concerning a 110 million year old species of sea turtle, the Caretta caretta, which has now become endangered. The organization collects data on human interference during the laying and hatching season, which comes from tourism industry development of nesting grounds, unnatural light sources that confuse hatchlings and accidental fishing deaths. The idea is to dispense this information to hotels and local people, raising awareness of the issue, as well as taking direct action to protect the grounds from these unnatural obstacles. While it takes fifteen years before a hatchling can make eggs of there own, only one in a thousand generally make it that far. With the odds stacked against them, it is collaborations like the Indigo Turtles Project that can hopefully make a difference.
