If you find a dead sea turtle
If the turtle is dead, it should be brought onto the land, and both the local Coast Guard (see the inventory of Coastal Guard stations) and the ARCHELON should be informed 6941511511
NOTE: All turtles should be handled carefully. It is possible that a turtle may appear to be dead, but in fact is simply in a state of hibernation, especially during the cold months.
If there is signal available, it must be removed by the port authority and sent to ARCHELON. CAUTION THIS ONLY APPLIES IF THE ANIMAL IS NOT ALIVE.
It would also greatly help ARCHELON if a photo of the dead turtle, including its injury, was taken and sent to rescue@archelon.gr.
BEWARE, IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE TURTLE TO LOOK DEAD BUT JUST BE IN A STATE OF INACTIVITY DUE TO SEVERE INJURY OR ILLNESS, ESPECIALLY DURING THE COLD MONTHS.

Notify local authorities so that the turtle will be properly and legally buried.
