A rare ecological event has been confirmed on the Tunisian coastline: a green turtle (Chelonia mydas) has nested on Ghedhabna beach in the Mahdia governorate. The Tunisian Sea Turtle Rescue Centre (INSTM) announced this significant finding, noting it is only the second documented instance of its kind. This nesting represents a crucial moment for turtle conservation in Tunisia. The INSTM is likely monitoring the nest to ensure the safety of the eggs and eventual hatchlings. This discovery highlights the importance of protecting coastal habitats in Mahdia and throughout Tunisia for these vulnerable species. Further details regarding the nesting and conservation efforts are expected to be released by the Tunisian Sea Turtle Rescue Centre.
