The overall objective of the project is to contribute to the effective and sustainable protection of the Mediterranean marine turtles and their habitats, mainly the Loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) and the Green turtle (Chelonia mydas). And in order to realise this outcome, the project is composed of 10 key partners, and funded by the MAVA Foundation; ARCHELON, The Sea Turtle Rescue Center (DEKAMER), MEDASSET, MedPAN, The National Marine Park of Zakynthos (N.M.P.Z.), SPA/RAC, WWF Greece, WWF North Africa (Tunisia), and WWF Turkey.

This information will be utilised to support a project impact assessment at the project and regional level as well as working alongside partners and MAVA to develop a fundraising blueprint for the long-term sustainability of the project and partnership.
