Turtle Habitat
Sea turtles inhabit tropical and subtropical waters around the world, however in the case of the leatherback turtle, it reaches the cold waters of Alaska plus the European Arctic occasionally.
However some species have a wide syndication, an example of a limited distribution is the Flatback sea turtle (Natator depressus) which only recides on the continental shelf of Australia, including Papua New Guinea and Indonesia. Also, the Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kempii) inhabits only part of the American prude.
The main regions of the world with the presence of sea turtles, separated by species, are below.
Golf course sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) - the Atlantic Marine, Gulf of Mexico, Puerto Rico, Mediterranean and beyond, African coasts, Northern Australia, Argentine, Pacific Ocean.
Loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) - coastal bays and revenues of all continents, except Antarctica.
Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kempii) - the Gulf of Mexico, South of the United States and several specimens in Morocco and the Mediterranean Sea.
Olive Ridley marine turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) -- Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica and India.
Hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) - Indo-Pacific Regions, Africa, Brazil, Quotes.
Flatback sea turtle (Natator depressus) - Australian shorelines as well as southern Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
Leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) - It has an extensive distribution around the world. The Gulf of Alaska, Argentina, South Africa, Ohio (USA), Tasmania and India are just some of the places where it lives.
The adults stay in shallow water and near the coasts, nevertheless sometimes they enter the open up sea. They live quietly with other living creatures from the marine fauna, and some stay close to the coral reefs or perhaps rocky areas.
The normal habitat of sea frogs includes feeding, migration, mating, and nesting areas.
Shorelines are paramount for these lizards since the females come for the shore to deposit all their eggs into the nests.
Estuaries, brackish areas where water through the ocean mixes with freshwater from the rivers, mangroves, and seagrass with tall vegetation are also part of their environment. The high diversity of aquatic plants and wild animals complement the environment of the frogs that live there.
The coral reefs, which add color and beauty to the seabed, also provide habitat for more than 530 marine organisms, including marine turtles.
Coastal development, individual disturbance, ocean pollution and artificial lighting are increasingly severe problems for chelonians, as their spaces keep lowering every day.
Ocean turtles migrate for two reasons, searching for food or reproduction. Trips are hundreds although sometimes thousands of miles much time, depending on the species and the success of their quest.
The Leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) is the species with the best migrations, traveling around 6th, 000 km each year. It crosses the Pacific Ocean via Asia to the west coastline of the United States to get more food.
Organic sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) travel approximately 2, 100km across the Pacific Ocean to reach the waters surrounding the Hawaiian Islands.
The Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kempii) cover two main tracks within the region of the Gulf of Mexico: one to the north, to the Mississippi area, and the different to the south of Mexico reaching the Yucatan Peninsula, in the Lender of Campeche.
In the case of hawksbill sea turtles, they have different migratory patterns. Some specimens show long migrations during breeding seasons, others travel short distances, and some will not migrate at all.
Flatback sea turtles (Natator depressus) help to make trips within the Australian coasts, covering up to 1, three hundred km.
The Olive Ridley sea turtles travel along the eastern Pacific Ocean and the Native american indian Ocean, while for the Loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) there is not known how many miles they travel, but are thought to be thousands.
