A new WWF-coordinated initiative, Blue Corridors for Turtles, aims to close critical gaps in marine turtle and ocean conservation. Launched on World Sea Turtle Day, this multi-partner initiative seeks to support the establishment and prioritisation of Important Marine Turtle Areas (IMTAs) to enable effective transboundary conservation measures to reverse the decline of marine turtle populations.
