Sporadic Nest Registration Form
Even a single sporadic nesting recording can be of great importance for the survival of sea turtles!
Sporadic sea turtle nesting is an interesting phenomenon with important effects. In addition to the beaches where there is annual nesting, ARCHELON also records sporadic nests of sea turtles in various regions of Greece, with the participation of the public. This phenomenon, although seemingly unusual, is an important part of the biology and ecology of turtles. Various factors can lead to sporadic nesting, such as weather conditions, sea level rise, climate change, food availability, habitat loss, or destruction of nesting habitats. The recording and study of this phenomenon contributes to the understanding of the adaptability of turtles and the possible identification of new nesting habitats. Sporadic nesting may also contribute to the maintenance of genetic diversity in turtle populations. Even a single sporadic nest can be of great importance to the survival of sea turtles.
