    Incontra il tuo ospite

    TAO Turtles of the Adriatic Organization APS is an association founded in 2018 by a group of italian marine biologists. Our association operates within one of the natural areas with the highest biodiversity in Europe: the Po Delta Park. The goal of the project is to monitor and protect the key marine and coastal endangered species, as sea turtles and dolphins, within this area and promote and to develop environmental awareness projects on a local scale.

    In order to achieve our purposes, the TAO team, throughout the year, organizes the following activities: sea excursions for scientific monitoring of these species, summer camps for youth and families, many environmental awareness and education initiatives in the area, didactic projects and active collaborations with research centres and universities.

    The development of these activities over the past three years has resulted in the:

    • photo-identification of more than 200 dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) spotted during the efforts at sea,
    • finding and protection of the first sea turtle nest laid in the region, 
    • raising awareness among thousands of tourists and students, 
    • and training of dozens of university students.
