Main nesting areas of the sea turtles in the Cuban archipelago.
Main Article Content
Abstract
Main sea turtles nesting areas in the Cuban archipelago as well as basic information on mean number of nests and/or ranges, estimated annually for each species, in the main keys or beaches of each area are presented. The information was obtained from monitoring and/or systematic surveys carried out for more than 10 years by Fisheries Research Center, Marine Research Center and National Enterprise for the Conservation of the Flora and the Fauna; which allowed to know the species nesting status in those areas. This knowledge is essential for the conservation and research on of these marine reptiles in Cuba.
