The project tracks small juvenile loggerhead turtles. The turtles were born in Valencia (Spain) from a natural nest found in San Juan (Alicante, Spain) in 2014.

They come from a a headstarting program with eggs from a nest found at a beach in Pulpi (Andalusia, Spain). This is the second nest ever found at this region. The nest was found at Palmeras Beach (Pulpi) by a fishermen family and rescued by the NGO Equinac. <br>Te nest was doomed and the eggs were relocated and incubated at the Doñana Biological Station (CSIC).
