Alagadi Turtle Beach is one of the most closely monitored beaches in the Mediterranean, manned around the clock by an international protection force.
Constantly on the lookout, they survey the bay off the port city of Girne in northern Cyprus, chasing off intrusive fishermen and bathers during the day, and lighting up the sea and dunes by night.
Their watchful eye is focused on the nests of the green sea turtle, an endangered species.
The team is made up of a dozen students who skip their holidays to give the tiny turtles a chance to survive.
There are just 1,000 green turtles left in the Mediterranean, and one in three buries its eggs, around 100 per nest, on the beaches along the northern coast of Cyprus.
