Environmentalists in Dalyan in the southwestern province of Muğla are rejoicing as Ankara authorities have given permission to the Kaptan June Sea Turtles Conservation Foundation to begin operations.
June Haimoff, or Kaptan June, the driving force behind the foundation, was busy baking a cake in her kitchen to serve, “with something in a glass” when the official news finally came through from Ankara, touching off celebrations.
Haimoff had been waiting with Yakup Kaska and a number of friends and supporters since the end of last year for news on the foundation. “Finally getting the news was a marvelous feeling,” she said.

I am glad that I read this. I have been a scuba diver for many years and it is always a great sight to see those majestic creatures. I have a small boat and now will be making a propeller guard. I would be very upset if i were responsible for injuring a turtle.

Thank you for saying that Abi. Really it's just taking a bit of responsibility. I will look into it. I am sure it won't take much to come up with something effective.
It is often what we feel is just interesting that lead to greater things. Well done for bringing it to our attention.
