Tracking loggerhead turtles in Spain

Last July, the UVEG team, in collaboration with other Institutions, was able to tag a loggerhead nesting in Cullera (Valencia). As revealed by the track, the turtle went south, out of the region, trying to nest (without success) in Andalucia beaches (south Spain). Now the turtle is looping in the eddies of Alboran and the Algerian basin. This track, as the one of another turtle that nested in South Catalonia (also tracked by our team), will help in the activity C3 of the LIFE MEDTURTLES project.
