Sea Turtles
Endangered
Critical Distinction
In the Mediterranean, scientific knowledge about sea turtles has improved dramatically over the past decades. However, the levels of knowledge are not homogeneous between the species (more work on the loggerhead), the geographical areas, the countries and the research themes.
- Research work in the countries of North Africa began in the early 1990s with mainly surveys in search of nesting sites.
- Several studies concerning several aspects (ecology; biology, genetics, interaction with fishing, stranding, etc.) were then carried out in different countries, but in a very uneven way.
- The following list of publications, although not exhaustive, summarizes the main works published in the region.
