Loggerhead sea turtle conservation experience

by: Hannah Cox - United StatesProgram: Greece Sea Turtle Conservation Short Term Internship

I was an intern for the month of June at the GVI Greece base. It was an amazing experience working alongside ARCHELON and the wonderful staff members and volunteers for GVI. Being a part of loggerhead sea turtle conservation efforts in the Mediterranean Sea was incredible and helped prepare me for my future career in environmental conservation. I could not recommend this base and experience more!

Best two weeks experience

Honestly one of the best two weeks I've had. It was such a rewarding experience working to protect the hatchlings and clean the beaches, and the friends I've made will be lifelong. The leaders at Giannitsochori were kind, welcoming, funny and inspirational, and I'd definitely do it again. Loved it and miss it already.
