MUGLA, TURKIYE - JULY 02: A view of a propeller of a boat is seen in Mugla, Turkiye on July 02, 2021. The species of sea turtles, which date back 110 million years and guide people with the way they follow, are still in danger due to increasing environmental pollution despite all the conservation efforts. Anadolu Agency (AA) photojournalists captured the life of sea turtles, the ancient creatures of the sea, which is turning into a dangerous journey with environmental pollution. The study was created with 2 years of data recorded in total from different coasts of Turkiye such as Mugla, Hatay, Adana, Antalya, Istanbul and Rize. The visuals of the project were recorded with shots lasting 4 months between Iztuzu, the westernmost coast of Turkiye, which is the nesting area of ​​sea turtles, and the Samandağ Beach, the easternmost point. About 5 hundred boats connected to the Dalyan boat cooperative on the Dalyan canal in the Dalyan region of Ortaca District of Muğla. exists. These boats host hundreds of local and foreign tourists during the day. In the programs included in the boat tours, you can make a trip to Iztuzu beach, also known as the Caretta Caretta beach. However, although it was banned here a while ago, people feeding the Caretta Carettas with the blue crabs they bought during the tour causes the sea turtles to be injured by the boat propellers. Blue crabs, the favorite food of this species, are bought by the citizens and thrown into the canal to see turtles. Turtles that come to eat blue crabs both cause behavioral damage and cause injury or death by getting caught in the propellers of boats.
