The Environment & Resources Authority (ERA) and Nature Trust Malta confirmed the sixth turtle nesting site of this season after it was spotted at Ramla L-Ħamra (Gozo).

The turtle was seen coming ashore just after 8pm on the 28th July 2024.

ERA officers convened on site and together with Nature Trust Malta cordoned off the area to ensure protection for the nest.

‘ERA will continue supporting NTM in order to ensure the protection of the nest. An emergency Conservation Order will be also issued.’

‘The general public is reminded that it is essential that if a turtle is spotted during a nesting attempt, no interactions with the turtle are to be made. The public is encouraged to act responsibly as excessive noise, trampling and light close to the nesting area may pose a threat to turtle eggs and any hatchlings.’

The public is encouraged to immediately report observations of turtle activity on 2292 3500 or through the customer care system or directly to Nature Trust Malta on 9999 9505.

Volunteers are also required during the nesting period so as to help with monitoring and other tasks related to this turtle nest.
