COFIB’s marine fauna department is putting the final touches to the second edition of its campaign to raise awareness of loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) nesting sites in the Balearic Islands. From June 1, stickers will be placed across the island, including at beaches, information points, diving centres, tourist establishments, marinas and yacht clubs.

The stickers have a QR code linking to a video that explains what to do if you come across a nesting turtle, a nest or hatchlings. This public awareness campaign is key to effectively managing the nesting and egg-laying process of this vulnerable species, which has been an increasingly frequent visitor to the Balearics.
