Antalya authorities implement environmental protection measures
Local authorities in Antalya are implementing environmental protection measures to preserve natural habitats. In Boğaçayı, the Antalya Metropolitan Municipality is using specialized aquatic plant-cutting machines, named ‘Caretta’ and ‘Mavi Yengeç’, to clear surface vegetation. This effort aims to maintain healthy water flow and protect the local aquatic ecosystem, particularly as water levels decrease during summer months.
Simultaneously, Aksu Municipality has intensified inspections at Kumköy Beach to protect the nesting grounds of endangered Caretta caretta sea turtles. Municipal and security teams are monitoring the area to prevent unauthorized vehicle access and fishing in nesting zones. As part of these conservation efforts, the municipality has removed gazebos to restore the beach's natural appearance and is planning a public beach project that respects the turtles' habitat.
