Sea Turtles Migrations
Sea turtles are migratory species; unfortunately, all sea turtles are disappearing mysteriously. They live in all the world's oceans, crossing great expanses ocean. Normally, sea turtles undertake migrations and each population has its areas, routes and well-defined seasons. The sea turtles born in the beach, then they walk along the sand and after run to the sea. Duringtheir walk to the sea, the sea turtles hatchlings run some dangers: dogs, gulls, vultures, crabs and other animals. The sea turtles can´t defend because are very slow animals. That´s why many sea turtles hatchling don´t arrive to the ocean. In this manner the ocean is first destination of hatchlings. They pass a time period known as “the lost year” because the scientists did not know what happenedto these animals from the time they left the beach and returned as young. During this growing phase of about 10 years, the young sea turtles feed on plankton, jellyfish and fish eggs. They will eventually grow up 30 cm long and continue with their growth process until be adult. The Adult Sea Turtles inhabit in the coast of Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean. They feed for years in the sea untilhaving enough energy reserves to complete migrations of 1000 km to breeding areas. All of sea turtles can reproduce when they have 20 to 50 years therefore the males and females must migrate to breeding areas. These turtles live up to 100 years old and grow up 100 cm. After breeding season the adult male return in the feeding areas and the adult females undertake a new nesting migration nearcoastal areas. The nesting migration takes between 2 to 8 years. Once there, start digging with their fins to form the nest, the female turtle can dig several nests, putting up to 500 eggs in total, of these, only one or two turtles will survive. The females always return to the beaches where they were borned. When the migration process has finished the females turtles return to feeding areas where arefound frequently. In Peru we can find five from the seven species of sea turtles that exist in the world, sea turtles populations migrate primarily along all coast and many of them come from the Galapagos Islands. Sea Turtles remain on the endangered species list.




















Las tortugas marinas habitan en las costas del Atlántico, Pacífico e Índico. También sealimentaran por años en el mar hasta que tengan suficientes reservas de energía para completar las migraciones de hasta 1000 km de las zonas de reproducción. Estas tortugas viven hasta 100 años y crecer hasta 100 cm. Tortugas Marinas permanecer en la lista de especies en peligro de extinción.

Durante esta fase de crecimiento de alrededor de 10 años, que se alimentan de plancton, medusas y huevos depeces. Ellos eventualmente crecerán hasta 30 cm de largo y continuaran con su proceso de crecimiento hasta ser adultos.
Pasan a un periodo de tiempo conocido como el "año perdido", porque los científicos no sabían qué pasó con estos animales desde el momento en que salió de la playa y regresaban como juveniles




Aunque muchas tortugas marinas recién nacidas son fuertes y rápidos debidoa la depredación alta no llegan hasta del océano












Conclusions
The reproduction process of sea turtles is important as it´s what keeps the various species alive.
The fisheries and marine pollution destroys the habitat and cause the death of many sea turtles.
The removal of seaweed reduces the main food source of sea turtles
Las tortugas siguen siendo seres importantespara el mundo marino y para el hombre.
Suggestion
Do not buy stuffed turtles or shells
Do not capture turtles
Do not throwing garbage into the sea
Perform conservation projects

Es importante que las tortugas subsistan para el equilibrio ecológico, ya que la existencia en gran escala de medusas afecta a pescadores y bañistas porque al tocarlas queman la piel.
