Abstract:
In 2004, an important new green turtle rookery was dicovered in Syria. Follow up work discovered sea turtles are being utilised as food in the country and are being negatively impacted by fisheries interaction.<br>In 2006 we are continuing the vital work from the last years and tracking a green turtle to identify her internesting habitat and post breeding migration. This was originally planned for 2005 but not realised due to the low nesting levels that year.<br>

摘要：
2004年，叙利亚境内发现一处重要的全新绿海龟产卵场。后续调研显示，当地存在将海龟作为食物取用的情况，且海龟受到渔业活动的不利影响。<br><br>2006年，我们延续过往数年的核心工作，对一只绿海龟进行跟踪监测，以明确其筑巢间期栖息地与繁殖后洄游路径。该计划原定于2005年实施，但因当年筑巢数量过低而未能推进。
