Observations at Sea of Marine Turtles on the Channel-Atlantic Coast
Inventory of observations of marine turtles at sea on the Chanell-Atlantic coastline since 1988. Since 1996, these observations have been part of the campaign "Devenez observateurs des Pertuis" (Become Observers in the Pertuis straits) in partnership with the Marine Mammal Research Centre (CRMM) in order to raise the awareness of pleasure-boaters and encourage them to record their observations at sea.
