Our eTurtle citizen science app already provided us with report about an unexpected visitor! After receiving a report on the observation of sea turtle in the Karin Sea, a shallow bay connected through series of complex channels with northern Adriatic, we closely inspected the uploaded video and realized that it is a juvenile green turtle. As observations and findings of green turtles in the northern Adriatic are quite rare (one has been recently found in Slovenia), the Croatian national TV brought a news on our citizen science app and green turtle in Karin Sea in the central News at 12. inviting viewers to download the app and help us in collecting the data on sea turtle observations.

If you understand Croatian you can check the video of the news
