Calabria is the birthplace of sea turtles

Did you know that Calabria’s enchanting beaches are a sanctuary for sea turtles? Right where you lay out your towel in summer, there might be a nest belonging to the Caretta caretta, a wonderful and protected species that has made our coastline its home.

Calabria is the heart of these creatures’ breeding range in the Mediterranean, with more nests than in any other region of Italy!

Would you like to discover the magical world of sea turtles? CRIMAC in Amendolara (CS) invites you to special sessions designed for schools, where we will explore the biology of this fascinating species and the key challenges facing its conservation.

Protecting turtles means preserving the beauty of our beaches, safeguarding them from illegal development and plastic pollution – a silent yet deadly threat to these animals both at sea and on shore.
