THE TURTLE
AN ANIMAL TO SAVE, TO PROTECT AND TO PRESERVE
ABC OF TURTLE
The turtle is a very ancient animal, it is both a terrestrial and aquatic animal. Turtles live mainly in tropical and subtropical areas. their diet is based on crustaceans, jellyfish, fish and molluscs. Turtle eggs are laid on the beach and when they are born they throw themselves into the sea, trying to avoid being eaten by predators.
THREATS OF TURTLE
Turtles are seriously threatened by human activities at different stages of their life cycle.
Beach erosion is inexorably reducing the space suitable for nesting. There are various threats, especially anthropogenic, that sea turtles have to face even as adults. Approximately 3,760 tonnes of micro- and macro-plastic have accumulated in the Mediterranean. Various plastic objects, and especially disposable bags, are often ingested by turtles because they are mistaken for prey. Large plastic waste and its agglomerates can also trap turtles underwater, preventing them from resurfacing to breathe and causing their death by drowning. This is especially true for some fishing gear abandoned or lost at sea, such as long lines and nets.
