TCF-funded in 2005 and 2006

First assessment of marine turtle activity on the Atlantic Coast of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC): Little is known about the marine turtle populations nesting on the coast of the Democratic Republic of Congo. In 2005 MCS supported Observatoire Congolais pour la Protection de'lEnvironment (OCPE) in their efforts to carry out the first ever marine turtle nesting surveys along the remote DRC coast. Despite arduous working conditions, OCPE have recently completed the first surveys and we are awaiting their report with great excitement!
