The species of pufferfish, known as silver-cheeked toadfish has become one of the biggest environmental challenges for the Greek seas and the Mediterranean as a whole in recent years. Its continuous spread, favored by the rise in water temperatures due to climate change, is causing serious impacts on both marine ecosystems and fisheries.

After a long wait, tireless effort and patience researchers from ARCHELON, the sea turtle rescue centre in Rethymnon, the first nest of the sea turtle for 2017 was recorded in the Sfakaki area in Crete.

2014's initial Caretta-Caretta sea turtle nests were discovered early this week on Zakynthos.
