Abstract
Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas ) is a endangered species that it nesting in Chahbahar coast in south of Iran. Detection and estimation of nesting points of this species in 2015 and use of 4 team worker in area wide 40 hectar in4 coast point in lipar, Ramin, Kacho and Tang with mean distance 40 km was performed. Overall 26 nest of Green Turtle detection and biometry of turtles and eggs done. For specify suitable nsting site of this species use of Weighted Linear Combination AHP method and with GIS software used. Results showed the highest Succeeding nesting in Lipar( 80%) compare Ramin coast (60%), Kacho( 50%) and Tang( 28%)have been. Mean egg number in 26 nests of this species equals 99.42± 47.8 Was obtained. Results showed that Laying points of Green Turtle in Coarse texture coast that tourism, road and Eat away and Bird gathering place done Overlapped .Between Presence habitat and Optimal habitat Modelized for Green Turtles in Chabahar area there is.
