SEA TURTLE (Caretta caretta)

Caretta CarettaCaretta CarettaOne of the most interesting examples of migrating sea turtles that are living. Living green sea turtles off the coast of Brazil in 2000 km. Ascension Island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean side 'in their eggs. Embedded in the sand pits in the newborn turtle eggs, the offspring of the immediately turn to the sea. Become adults in the open sea after spawning Atlantic Ocean again to 'na turn to the right.

Water turtles, come ashore to lay their eggs, they shall weep salty. The reason for this, the more eyes on the side of the salt glands of the body is disposed to provide. Sea turtles swimming in salt water, drink while in the body must get rid of more salt.

Caretta CarettaCaretta CarettaCaretta Caretta name almost Mediterranean sea turtles that nest in our beaches are used as the common name. Thus, other turtle species living in our seas and injustice is done in part. The reason, perhaps the word easy to say, perhaps more to the east of the Mediterranean sea to our nest Chelonia Mydas' s. (green sea turtle), and yet not been found to nest, but other species in our seas are circulating that know much about. Sea turtles nest on the extent known course we will not lie. Because most recognized Caretta Caretta species, approximately 180 km of the nesting areas in our country every summer approximately 2000 (1300-2700) slot, while, Chelonia Mydas average 900 (700-1200) is holder. Every female in a season that we accept an average of 3 nests, our beaches every summer 450-900 and 230-400 female Caretta Chelonia comes to adult female slot. These numbers yet about the amount we do not have much information men and young people in Turkey are added to the sea and the beach nourishment areas near the Mediterranean Sea from the continuity of this type of provision in terms of how much importance will be clearly understood that.

Caretta CarettaCaretta CarettaStudies provide the above information, Turkey began in 1988 as extensive beaches. Nowadays, various universities and also by voluntary organizations is continuing. In these studies, in general, sea turtles beach outputs are determined, the females brands being, slots in the eggs cage with the help are protected, no changes are being and predasyon such dangers defined from the slot the little ones and their how to reach to the sea where, how many died, how the eggs develop in complete not such information is collected .

Sea turtles of the academic studies that examine the increases in addition to the above information, the female of the same beaches each season, why come to the nest and the sea turtles during the winter as they walk where information is obtained via satellite. To different sea turtles nest of a genetically different from each other as subjects, sex chromosomes are not (going from egg to the offspring of the sex of the egg in the temperature of the environment is set) this type of gender in which female temperatures, which temperature is men are being investigated. Our world increasingly heated, particularly due to environmental sex determination that are extinct in denizkaplumbağaları is very important. Because it is only one type of female can not be considered protected.

Caretta CarettaCaretta CarettaTo avoid extinction of sea turtles, their nesting areas and protection of the nest, as well as pollution of our seas, as well as in terms of the harmful activities must be checked. Only the females nest on the beach they were born to come back for it and our young people close to shore feeding areas are located. In such an environment for them all kinds of structures, their harmful activities leads to injuries and death. Only 3% of the turtles' reputation could reach the adult stage if we accept the continued generation of ensuring the treatment of wounded and sick individuals is of great importance also.

All aspects of an open-air museum for the protection of our country all have. Marine research and more detailed studies in our sea kaplumbağalârının be done about the institutions, universities, associations and cooperation with other voluntary organizations should be provided.
