If You Found a Turtle
If you find an injured or dead sea turtle on a beach in Alanya or Gazipaşa
Sea turtles should always be handled with care. A turtle may appear dead but could actually be inactive or hibernating, especially during colder months. If you are sure that the turtle is dead, please report it to the local authorities so it can be properly handled.
What should you do?
Take photos of the animal, especially any visible injuries.
Include a Google Maps link showing the exact location where the turtle was found.
Describe the problem in Turkish when sending the report.
