Abstract: EspaÃ±ol
Programa de monitorizaciÃ³n de juveniles de tortuga boba (Caretta caretta) procedentes del â€œProyecto de AmpliaciÃ³n del hÃ¡bitat reproductor de la tortuga boba en la Macaronesiaâ€, iniciado en el aÃ±o 2006 y que pretende llevar a cabo la reintroducciÃ³n de la especie en el archipiÃ©lago Canario a partir de huevos traÃdos desde Cabo Verde.
Estas 5 tortugas, de entre 7 y 8 aÃ±os de edad, fueron criadas en cautividad desde su nacimiento en las instalaciones del Cabildo Insular de Fuerteventura (Centro de conservaciÃ³n y recuperaciÃ³n de tortugas marinas de Morro Jable) y de la ULPGC en Taliarte, Gran Canaria. SerÃ¡n monitorizadas mediante transmisores de seguimiento por satÃ©lite tras ser liberadas en la playa de Cofete, Fuerteventura, lugar de nacimiento de la mayorÃa de los ejemplares y Ã¡rea principal del programa de reintroducciÃ³n de esta especie en Canarias.
El objetivo de esta actividad es identificar los tipos de hÃ¡bitats que usarÃ¡n tras su liberaciÃ³n, localizar su Ã¡rea de distribuciÃ³n, e identificar rutas migratorias en caso de que llegaran a migrar.
La ONG ADS Biodiversidad es la responsable cientÃfica de esta actividad y el Cabildo Insular de Fuerteventura el principal colaborador.

Monitoring programme of juvenile loggerheads (Caretta caretta) from the project: â€œEnlargement of the reproductive habitat of loggerhead turtles in the Macaronesia regionâ€, started in 2006 and focused on the loggerhead reintroduction in the Canary Islands through eggs brought from the Cape Verde colony.
These 5 turtles are 7 to 8 years old and have been reared in captivity during their entire life in the Marine turtle conservation and recovery Centre of Cabildo de Fuerteventura (Morro Jable) and University of Las Palmas facilities (in Taliarte, Gran Canaria). They will be monitored with satellite tracking devices, after their release in Cofete beach, which was their hatch location and the main area selected for the reintroduction programme.
This activity aims to identify the different kind of habitats used after their release, localize their distribution area, and identify migratory corridors in case they migrate.
The NGO ADS Biodiversidad is the scientific coordinator and Cabildo de Fuerteventura the main partner
