The loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) is the most common and abundant of the seven species of sea turtles found in the Mediterranean. However, this has not prevented it from becoming an endangered species and listed as vulnerable by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature).
Launched in 2021, this project aims to gather more data on this species and work towards increasing its population in the Balearic Sea, as it is classified as an endangered species in the Red Book of Fish of the Balearic Islands.
In March 2022, the "Cavallets de mar balears" project was launched following the signing of a collaboration agreement between the Palma Aquarium Foundation and Banca March. This initiative aims to facilitate the reproduction of Mediterranean seahorses in a controlled artificial environment and ensure their reintroduction into their natural habitat.
We play an active and ongoing role in scientific projects, working with universities and education centres.
A través de la cría en instalaciones especializadas, el proyecto tiene como objetivo asegurar el futuro de las especies de peces Pipa, algunas de las cuales se encuentran en peligro de extinción o vulnerabilidad.
