Abstract
This study presents the first report of a loggerhead turtle nest in the northern latitudes in the Aegean Sea of Türkiye, which was found on the Gökçeada Island of Çanakkale Province, Turkey. The nest contains a total of 129 eggs, 103 of which produced hatchlings and 100 of these hatchlings reached to the sea safely. This sporadic record may be a result of mechanisms developed to overcome the limitations of philopatry and increase their ability to adapt to the predicted global climate change.
