The project involved 15 Italian regions in the Mediterranean and aimed to reduce sea turtle mortality through two main actions:

• Promote the use of circle hooks, turtle excluder devices (TEDs), and other devices that allow captured sea turtles to escape to reduce turtle by-catch resulting from the use of longlines, bottom trawls, and static nets. These methods are less harmful to fish and help to preserve marine biodiversity.
• Reduce post-harvest turtle deaths, fishermen should be trained and made aware of the issue. Additionally, sea turtle rescue and first aid facilities should be improved.
