Dominica Sea turtle Conservation Organization, in partnership with the Georgia Aquarium, are working to research and conserve sea turtles in Dominica. A small island in the Caribbean, Dominica has several sea turtle species nesting on it's beaches. Leatherbacks have been the main focus due to poaching on the island of adults and nests. Georgia Aquarium and DomSeTCO support patrollers on the main leatherback nesting beaches and has initiated a sea turtle tour program bringing visitors and locals alike to witness sea turtle nesting events on the island.

Además, se identificarán las principales presiones y amenazas a las que están expuestas estas tortugas.</p>

<p>The MTCP have placed 22 satellite trackers on green turtles since 1998 which have revealed several major foraging areas within the Mediterranean. However, recent research using stable isotope analysis suggest that an important foraging area may have been missed due to chance. Therefore, MTCP have taken the opportunity to attach satellite trackers to 5 turtles which the stable isotopes suggest forage in the area of interest.</p>

<p>The project tracks small juvenile loggerhead turtles. The turtles were born in Valencia (Spain) and Catalonia from natural nests found in Spain in 2014 and in Andalusia in 2015, and Valencia (2016). Eggs were translocated and the neonates were headstared in different centers: Arca del Mar, Oceanogràfic de Valencia, Acuario de Sevilla, Fundación CRAM and at the CEGMA Algeciras.</p>

<p>Abstract: The project aims to study the distribution and dispersal of juvenile loggerheads. The juvenile are -lt; 1 year. 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. -lt;br-gt;Te nest was doomed and the eggs were relocated and incubated at the Doñana Biological Station (CSIC). Neonates were raised at the Acuario de Sevilla (Sevilla, Spain) and the CEGMA of Algeciras. Tagging was conducted by researchers from Universitat Politècnica de Valencia-IGIC and University of Valencia.
