This Caretta caretta monument pays tribute to sea turtles!

These emblematic species have roamed the Earth's Oceans for over 100 million years and are consider as indicator species for the marine environment. The monument was inaugurated on July 18^th in El Kram (Northern suburb of Tunisia) with the presence of local authorities, NGO’s and of course the people of the city.

This initiative is part of the #SeaTuMed sub-project and is launched jointly with WWF Tunisie and Association de developpement et d'environnement du Kram with 15 Tunisian NGOs.

The #SeaTuMed sub-project is being implemented in the framework of the project Conservation of Marine Turtles in the Mediterranean Region.
