Green Turtles in Syria (aggregated per 1-degree cell)

<p>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. 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.</p>2004年，叙利亚境内发现一处重要的绿海龟（green turtle）新产卵场（rookery）。后续研究表明，该国存在将海龟作为食物利用的情况，且海龟因与渔业活动的交互而受到负面影响。2006年，我们延续此前数年的核心工作，对一只绿海龟进行追踪，以确定其繁殖间期栖息地与繁殖后洄游路径。该项工作最初计划于2005年实施，但因当年海龟筑巢数量偏低而未能开展。
