Total number of activities : 1,238
Beach with the most activities : Black Sand Beach (no surprise there!) with 189. But...
The beach with the most nests was Ponta Jelonga with 47
Scariest nesting beach was Piazza where there were 36 activities among all the rocks and rubbish (oh yes, the turtles are crazy)
Tiny little In Between Beach recorded an amazing 34 activities
Total number of turtles killed was 39, unsurprisingly, the majority on Mont Leao (13)
So this means a reduction from 1 in 9 turtles killed on protected beaches to 1 in 62 on protected beaches
In other words if the same percentage (11%) had been killed on all beaches we would have lost 142 turtles
