About Meritta

Merit Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Center were established on 10th May, 20018 after a protocol was agreed upon between the TRNC Ministry of Tourism and Environment and MEP-DER.

Our treatment protocol is from rescue to release – which means that sea turtle patients are released as soon as they are medically cleared. If a patient is deemed non-releasable, it will be taken care of in our facility.

This center is being set up for activity and to help educate the public and raise awareness of conservation efforts.
