Background

Turtle born in 2014 in Spain: The original nest was found at a touristic beach in Alicnte and translocated by researchers from the University of Valencia to a natural beach in El Saler (Valencia). The nest was custodied by volunteers until eclosion of the eggs. The neonates were taken to the recovery center ARCA del Mar, at the Ocenogr�fic de Valencia.
