Friday, 18/09, 18:30, Platanias Beach “Public excavation” refers to the opening of every nest, conducted by trained ARCHELON volunteers, with the audience invited to attend. The opening of a Sea Turtle Nest is always done after a set number of days, once all the baby sea turtles have incubated. In this way, ARCHELON records the percentage of incubation success, namely, how many baby sea turtles successfully entered the water, how many were not incubated, and the reasons for this. Sometimes, in the nest, there are belated baby sea turtles that are carefully set free by ARCHELON volunteers and guided toward the water, which excites the public observers during the excavation.
