TRGreen sea turtle hatchlings in Türkiye's Mersin province are continuing to emerge from their nests at Davultepe 100th Year Nature Park in the Mezitli district. The hatchlings, which began emerging in May, are being monitored by researchers from Mersin University's Sea Turtle Research and Application Center. Lecturer Mahmut Ergene noted that approximately 80% of hatchlings from eggs laid in May and June have already emerged, though there has been a decline compared to previous years. While he acknowledges natural fluctuations in sea turtle populations, he emphasizes the importance of protecting nests and warns against human interference. Ergene advises against manually assisting hatchlings to reach the sea, suggesting instead that removing plastic and solid waste from their path would be more beneficial. The university's center also engages in conservation efforts and public education campaigns to raise awareness about sea turtles.
