Cigüeñas y gaviotas transportan cientos de kilos de plásticos desde los vertederos a los humedales de Andalucía Las aves ingieren plásticos en los vertederos que luego devuelven al medio en los enclaves donde descansan.

Cigüeñas y gaviotas transportan cientos de kilos de plásticos desde los vertederos a los humedales de Andalucía.

Viene derivado de la mala gestion de los vertederos, con consecuencias negativas sobre los humedales y por tanto sobre el propio ciclo del agua.

The pivotal temperature of sea turtles, which is key in temperature-dependent sex determination, is mainly between 29–30 °C.

Among the outreach activities we have carried out, we presented a workshop on our study of loggerhead turtle nesting in the Alboran Sea and its accidental capture during the X Festival del Mar.

#PlandeRecuperacion #NextGenerationEU

In the Alboran Sea, due to the low temperatures it can reach, many juvenile loggerhead turtles wash ashore because they go into hypothermia.
If you find one, call 112.

Each tag is carefully assembled and adjusted to ensure it stays in place without interfering with the animal’s well-being.

These devices are essential to understand the migratory movements and feeding areas of the species.

Two very special species of sea turtles. One of the main feeding areas for the loggerhead turtle is on the Spanish Levante coast, which is now developing as a nesting area.

Sightings of the green sea turtle have always been exceptional in our waters, but it is believed that this species is also expanding its range.

Plastic pollution is devastating our oceans - more than 8 million tons enter the seas every year, harming wildlife.

These devices are essential to understand the migratory movements and feeding areas of the species.

Each tracker is carefully mounted and adjusted to ensure attachment without interfering with the animal's well-being.

#PlandeRecuperacion #NextGenerationEU

To better understand the movements and behavior of sea turtles, we prepare satellite trackers that record their routes once released.

With the participation of the fishing sector, we can assess the magnitude of these interactions and propose practical solutions that benefit both fishermen and marine conservation.
#PlandeRecuperacion #NextGenerationEU

These surveys collect information on:

- Frequency and type of interactions
- Damage to gear and associated costs
- Bycatch
- Known or applied mitigation measures

#PlandeRecuperacion #NextGenerationEU

In the surveys, we aim to understand interactions between fishing gear and dolphins and sea turtles.
#PlandeRecuperacion #NextGenerationEU

We have already started surveys of trawl, purse seine, and gillnet fleets at the ports of Málaga, Granada, and Almería, as part of the ALMA Project.

The weekend and rest begin… but if you see any marine megafauna species, remember to register it in the link!
#PlandeRecuperacion #NextGenerationEU

How was your weekend? If you spotted any species of marine megafauna, remember to record it using the link in the description!

The critical sublethal temperature for sea turtle embryos is around 34 °C. At this threshold, they survive but may suffer effects on their development and viability.

Data show that sea turtles tolerate more extreme temperatures than crocodiles and alligators, highlighting Caretta caretta for its broad thermal tolerance and adaptations to different nesting environments.
#PlandeRecuperacion #NextGenerationEU

Global analysis shows that Caretta caretta tolerates the widest thermal ranges among sea turtles, highlighting its adaptability to different nesting environments.

Green turtle bounces back from brink in conservation 'win' Once endangered due to hunting, it is making a strong recovery thanks to global conservation efforts.

Good news!!

The green turtle has been rescued from the brink of extinction.

Thanks to decades of global conservation efforts, green turtle populations are finally returning.

Reporting sightings of marine wildlife helps prevent bycatch, adjusting fishing to reduce its impact on biodiversity.

To better understand the movements and behavior of sea turtles, we prepare satellite tags that allow us to track their routes once they are released.

Outreach is key to the conservation of marine species. This video shows an outreach worker explaining about loggerhead sea turtles at the CECAM, bringing knowledge and awareness of the importance of protecting this species to the general public.

In the Alboran Sea, due to the low temperatures it can reach, many young loggerhead turtles become stranded because they go into hypothermia.
If you find one, call 112.

#PlandeRecuperacion #NextGenerationEU

Among the outreach activities we have carried out, we presented a workshop on our study of loggerhead turtle nesting in the Alboran Sea and their accidental capture at the 10th Sea Festival

#PlandeRecuperacion #NextGenerationEU

On the other hand, sightings of green turtles have always been exceptional in our waters, but it is believed that this species is also expanding its distribution.
