Does anyone know how to get in contact with the turtle watching project in Lara Bay on the Akamas peninsula? I wish to watch the nesting and hatching of the turtles but such information for contact with any organization cannot be found.
Hope that you can help me

Turtle watching at Lara bay in Cyprus
It is the 24/05/2011 and we saw 7 -9 turtles coming in to lay their eggs. We live in Cyprus and have done for 10 years and havn't had this experience before.
We were at the Natura Beach and they were all popping their heads out of the sea, checking out the beach. What an amazing experience.
Very glad that my children got to see them. I hope others can see them too.

Looking for storytellers about the Lara turtle project by: Béatrice
Hi Helen, or anybody who knows!
I am going to Cyprus also to find out about the Turtle project in order to write a story about the project, people and volunteers who run the Lara Project. Would anybody have updated information? I am going soon, on the 15th of Cyprus for 6 days. I am aware there aren't any turtles to see at this time of year but would hope to at least talk to people about it. Thanking you in advance,
Béatrice.

Lara Turtle Conservation Project by: Helen
There are a couple of organisations you can try:
AKTI - an organisation based in Nicosia. They have a page on the turtle project here from where you can send them an e-mail.
Seaturtle.org also has information on the project but is worldwide so best to start with the Cyprus based AKTI.
The owner of one of our local hotels the Natura beach is actively involved in nature conservation so you could also try contacting the hotel - www.natura.com.cy.
