Welcome
Episkopi Turtlewatch is an entirely voluntary organization which everybody is welcome to join. We help to conserve loggerhead and green marine turtles on the beaches between Limassol and Paphos on the south coast of Cyprus. Both species are classified as endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (ICUN) and both nest on beaches in the Episkopi area.
This site provides guidance and information for our volunteers and prospective volunteers. You can find details of what we do, and how you can become involved. If you want to join us, you can download a form to complete and return to us.
You can see photos of what we do on our on our Flickr site by following this link and our links page will direct you to a number of conservation organisations in Cyprus and abroad.
In 2008 and 2009 the number of turtles killed in Episkopi waters has risen dramatically. Many of the killings are deliberate.
Please click on the picture below and sign our petition calling for the Sovereign Base Area Administration to take effective action to stop the killings.
