Under average meteorological conditions, the island is water-sufficient (969 mm precipitation; theoretical water potential 3284 hm3; and total water use 610 hm3). Agriculture is by far the greatest user of water (78% of total water use), followed by domestic use (21%). Despite the high average water availability, water scarcity events commonly occur, particularly in the eastern-south part of the island, driven by local climatic conditions and seasonal or geographical mismatches between water availability and demand.

    Sea turtles and small-scale fisheries: Designing conservation policies for a marine area on Crete, Greece A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of Drexel University by Aliki Panagopoulou in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2015 © Copyright 2015 Aliki Panagopoulou. All rights reserved. ii Dedication To Laurie Spotila: An amazing woman I was honored to have in my life and call a friend. I miss you! And To my nephews, Konstandinos and Michalis: You are my secret power! iii Acknowledgments It has been a long journey that got me to this point and there are so many people I have to thank for their support during the process for this major milestone. First of all, I would like to thank my two advisors, Dr. James R. Spotila and Dr. Stephen J. Morreale. Dr. Spotila, thank you so much for offering me the opportunity to come to Drexel and pursue a Ph.D. degree. You showed a lot of faith in me and you have been the greatest mentor any graduate student can have. You showed me the path to true scientific thinking, you provided guidance, advice and support. More than that, you took me into your home, you helped me get settled in Philadelphia and you became one of my closest friends. Dr. Morreale, you have been there with me every step of the way, working with me in the field, guiding me through data analyses and writing and teaching me everything I know about telemetry and mapping. More importantly, you taught me how to think outside the box and not let the little unimportant things get to me.

Its geomorphology and orientation, in conjunction with its size and adequate depth, create a safe harbor throughout the year. Its geo- Tgraphical location at the centre of the Eastern Mediterranean, on the trace of ancient sea-roads, acquires unique strategic importance, thus stimulating the vivid 2 interest from antiquity to the present day. In the gulf of Souda throughout time there have been developed com- plex defensive systems, verifying the continuous interest in the area by the relevant occupants. he gulf of Souda is elongated in shape with maxi- mum length 8km and width 2.600m at the T entrance, which decreases to 1500m due to the existence of two rock-islands at its northern side. To its shallow, sandy cove ends the Moronis torrent and at its sides small bays are shaped, suitable for anchoring, such as of Ag. Marina, Limionari tis Grias to the south, Aspalatheas and Limni to the north, while outside the gulf are the Loutraki and Marathi bays, as well as a small rock- island named Palia Souda or Marathi. At both sides of the gulf the land is semi-mountainous. To the south, at the region of Apokoronas and at the eastern side of the gulf, the large sandy beach of Kalyves with three small rivers is shaped, continuing the fertile mainland.
