Marine conservation project Cyprus
Marine conservation project Xenios
With our Xenios project, we are committed to the protection of sea turtles around Cyprus, focusing in particular on those that have reached the juvenile stage.
Sea turtle database
We identify sea turtles based on the pattern on the side of their face. This is the most non-invasive method of identification for sea turtles.
-
The left and right sides are not identical.
-
If possible, photos should be taken from the side at the same height.
-
Using AI, our database is scanned for matches.
-
The final identification is confirmed by us visually.
Our commitment to protecting the oceans
Divers play a vital role in marine conservation. Everyone who dives is also a voice for the ocean. Our fascinating stories from the underwater world help others understand why it's so important to protect the sea.
