The First Steps of the Caretta Carettas — Kazanlı Beach

The First Steps of the Caretta Carettas

On 26 July 2025, the Rotaract Club of Mersin came together with the Mersin Rotary, Adana Rotary, Adana Rotaract and Koza Rotary Clubs at Kazanlı Beach for a day that touched both nature and solidarity.

Our event, where we accompanied the baby sea turtles’ first steps, began with a pleasant fellowship dinner on the beach that strengthened our friendships. Afterwards, under the guidance of Mr. Seyhan Akdoğan, President of the Akdeniz Third Eye Association, we watched the caretta carettas safely reach the sea. In those moments, it wasn’t just the sand that felt warm — our hearts did too.

Thanks to the experts on site throughout the event, we gained valuable knowledge about endangered species. We planted a seed of environmental responsibility in the mind of every participant.

We sincerely thank everyone who made this meaningful day possible — especially Mr. Seyhan Akdoğan and the Akdeniz Third Eye Association for their valuable contributions.

As the Rotaract Club of Mersin, we will continue to bring the energy of youth together with kindness.

Unite for Good.
