One team member MUST be the raft Captain and be 21 years of age at the time of the race. Rafts MUST be constructed from discarded beach waste, this it to highlight ocean garbage and the damage to the marine life and eco systems.

We will also be having a raffle with lots of fantastic prizes and a bric a brac stall. The turtle Shack will also be open offering the sale of numerous turtle related product such as t-shirts, reusable bags, reusable drinks bottles, gifts and jewellery etc. All proceeds will go to the conservation of marine turtles here in Northern Cyprus.
It is a great event for all and a good way to meet volunteers members of the turtle patrol teams who will be on hand to offer advice and information on marine sea turtles and the raft race is always fun to spectate if you don't want to participate in the actual raft race itself.
Best Wishes,
