Turtle triumph
Elche’s Carabassí beach has recently witnessed the release of nine turtles that were being protected and cared for at the Oceanogràfic in Valencia.
These turtles were released following the discovery of their eggs last July on the same beach.
Inés Peral, a biologist at Oceanogràfic, stated that “the turtles we released will likely return to lay their eggs here in 25 or 30 years.”
“What we have done today could have lasting effects for hundreds of years if we continue to maintain our beaches as suitable habitats for this species.”
