Has anyone else watched it yet?
Seems its both tourists and greek locals ignoring the laws.
How awful to think there might not be any turtles left in 20 years if it carries on like this.
What shall we do??

Hi dee.

Watched the program at my Moms. They diffinitley need protecting, as they said they have been there a lot longer than humans.

The beach seemed bad enough when we had a quick look there 7years since and I am sure it will be 10times worse now. Needless to say never visited there since, once was enough.

Bugger It.

If anyone has it on DVD please let my know.
