Marine turtles

Esta publicación ofrece información sobre el estado de conservación de mamíferos y tortugas marinos que habitan en el Mediterráneo y el mar Negro. Cada especie ha sido clasificada previamente por la UICN a escala global y presentamos aquí los primeros resultados de la evaluación regional de las especies de cetáceos residentes en el mar Mediterráneo. También se centra en las principales amenazas que afectan a su supervivencia y crecimiento, y hace recomendaciones para preservarlas mejor.

This booklet presents information on the conservation status of the marine mammals and sea turtles that inhabit the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Each species has previously been classified by IUCN at global level and here we present the first results of the regional assessment for those cetacean species resident in the Mediterranean Sea. It also focuses on the main threats that affect their survival and growth and makes recommendations to better preserve them.

Without active intervention and management, Marine turtle populations are expected to continue their decline to extinction. This strategy covering nine individual strategies ranging from research and monitoring to funding for marine turtle conservation is intended to meet the need for a comprehensive, unified and global approach to the issues.

Shortly after the 2002 conclusion of the TRAFFIC surveys the Viet Nam Government prohibited the use and exploitation of wild marine turtles with Government Decree 48/2002/ND-CP.

The Mediterranean Sea is a virtually enclosed basin that is frequented by three sea turtle species. In the last three decades the interest in sea turtles in the Mediterranean has continuously increased, motivated by a growing concern for these threatened animals. There has also been a great interest and need to develop adequate knowledge about their threats and about the biological and ecological parameters that are relevant for their conservation.
