Turtle Habitat
Ocean turtles inhabit tropical and subtropical waters around the world, but in the case of the leatherback turtle, it reaches the frosty waters of Alaska as well as the European Arctic occasionally.
Even though some species have a wide division, an example of a limited distribution is a 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 ocean turtle (Lepidochelys kempii) inhabits only part of the American region.
The main regions of the world with all the presence of sea frogs, separated by species, are below.
Putting surface sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) - the Atlantic Water, Gulf of Mexico, Puerto Rico, Mediterranean and beyond, African coasts, Northern Down under, Argentine, Pacific Ocean.
Loggerhead ocean turtle (Caretta caretta) -- coastal bays and channels of all continents, except Antarctica.
Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kempii) - the Gulf of Mexico, South of the United States and many specimens in Morocco and the Mediterranean Sea.
Olive Ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) -- Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica and India.
Hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) - Indo-Pacific Regions, Africa, Brazil, Australia.
Flatback sea turtle (Natator depressus) - Australian coasts as well as southern Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
Leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) - It has an extensive syndication around the world. The Gulf of Alaska, Argentina, South Africa, Cal (USA), Tasmania and India are just some of the places where that lives.
The adults stay in shallow drinking water and near the coasts, although sometimes they enter the available sea. They live quietly with other living creatures of the marine fauna, and some stay close to the coral reefs or perhaps rocky areas.
The organic habitat of sea frogs includes feeding, migration, reproduction, and nesting areas.
Beaches are paramount for these lizards since the females come to the shore to deposit their eggs into the nests.
Estuaries, brackish areas where water from ocean mixes with fresh water from the rivers, mangroves, and seagrass with tall vegetation are also part of their habitat. The high diversity of aquatic plants and fauna complement the environment of the turtles that live there.
The coral formations reefs, which add color and beauty to the seabed, also provide habitat for more than 530 marine organisms, including sea turtles.
Coastal development, human being disturbance, ocean pollution and artificial lighting are increasingly severe problems for chelonians, as their spaces keep minimizing every day.
Marine turtles migrate for two factors, searching for food or duplication. Trips are hundreds yet sometimes thousands of miles very long, depending on the species and the accomplishment of their quest.
The Leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) is the species with the longest migrations, traveling around six, 000 km each year. This crosses the Pacific Ocean via Asia to the west shoreline of the United States to get more food.
Putting surface sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) travel approximately 2, 100 km across the Pacific Ocean to reach the waters surrounding the Hawaiian Islands.
The Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kempii) cover two main avenues within the region of the Gulf of Mexico: one to the north, towards the Mississippi area, and the other to the south of Mexico achieving the Yucatan Peninsula, in the Bank of Campeche.
In the case of hawksbill sea turtles, they have several migratory patterns. Some individuals show long migrations during breeding seasons, others travel around short distances, and some usually do not migrate at all.
Flatback sea turtles (Natator depressus) make trips within the Australian coasts, covering up to 1, three hundred km.
The Olive Ridley sea turtles travel over the eastern Pacific Ocean and the Indiana Ocean, while for the Loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) there is not known how various miles they travel, tend to be thought to be thousands.
