Turkish world record-holder free-diver of the Underwater Federation Sahika Ercumen, who is announced as âLife Below Water Advocateâ of Turkey by United Nations Development Programme, dives to witness the first steps of baby loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) in Mugla, Turkey on 18, 2020. Wounded sea turtles are treated at the Sea Turtles Research, Rescue and Rehabilitation Center (DEKAMER) within the scope of the Patara Sea Turtles Conservation and Monitoring Program supported by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization. After their treatment, the turtles are kept under observation in special areas created in the sea to get used to their natural habitats. (Photo by Sebnem Coskun/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
