Since 1983, the primary objective of ARCHELON, the Sea Turtle Protection Society of Greece has been to protect the sea turtles and their habitats in Greece through monitoring and research, developing and implementing management plans, habitat restoration, raising public awareness and rehabilitating sick and injured turtles.
ARCHELON is a non-profit and non-governmental organisation. All funds raised are used exclusively to implement sea turtle conservation projects, which focus mainly on research, protection, management, public awareness, environmental education and lobbying.
