Dalyan Turtle Beach

This guide to Dalyan Turtle Beach follows two things sharing the same water: generations of fishermen working the reed banks for blue crab, catch-and-release rules barely changed in a lifetime, and the loggerhead turtles nesting a few steps away. It turns on 1987, when bulldozers broke ground on an eighteen-hundred-bed hotel built over that nesting ground, and a British traveler named June Haimoff who noticed strange tracks pressed into the sand one night. Order the blue crab here today, still caught May through October the same old way, and you're eating from the channel this story turns on.
