Introduction
 |
The aim of this project is to investigate the movements performed by loggerhead turtles rehabilitated by a Rescue Center in Manfredonia, Southern Italy. The Adriatic sea is home to a quite large number of turtles, especially loggerheads, representing one of the best feeding area within the Mediterranean Sea. Both juveniles and adult loggerheads frequent this area, and perform a variety of movements including seasonal migrations.
