The Observatory of Marine Turtles

The last part of the trail will encourage you to understand the necessity, and in many cases the difficulty, of reconciling the conservation of marine turtles and their habitats with the legitimate needs of human development. The problem becomes acute when the lives of coastal communities are closely associated with the presence and past abundance of marine turtles. Scientific programs are aimed at better understanding the biology of marine turtles and their role in the ecosystem: The importance of regional cooperation in order to maximise the benefits of conservation measures aimed at ensuring the survival of these migratory species. |
