It is expected that most of these animals come ashore to spawn. Technicians from the Coastal and Marine Resources Office inspected the\u00a0 Cabarete beach and found two nests separated by a distance of 800 meters apart and 10 meters high from the tide, which had been protected with a fence of wood and rope, placed by members of the community, the Navy, Politur and Ministry of Tourism.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Environmental technicians formed a protection committee, with all the materials needed to reinforce the perimeter of the nests as it is expected that more turtles\u00a0 arrive to this beach .

The leatherback\u00a0 turtle\u00a0 (tinglar in the Dominican Republic) is the Dermochelyidae family. In English is called Leatherback\u00a0 Turtle , in French Tortue Luth. It is the largest sea\u00a0 turtle\u00a0 and also more specialized. The front legs, transformed into broad flippers, have a wingspan of more than 3 m to a carapace length of 2 m and a weight exceeds 500 kg. The hind legs, short and broad, reminiscent of the seals, and are attached to the short tail with a leathery expansion.<\/p><div id=\"golde-3448071383\" class=\"golde-content\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/property\/spc2516\/\" aria-label=\"Sosua beach condos\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/beachcondos.jpg\" alt=\"Sosua beach condos\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/beachcondos.jpg 1106w, https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/beachcondos-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/beachcondos-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/beachcondos-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1106px) 100vw, 1106px\" width=\"1106\" height=\"553\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But the most striking character of the leatherback\u00a0 turtle\u00a0 is its shell, which consists of small independent bone flakes, covered with a thick skin. The shell has a rubber texture, about 4 cm thick and is made up of strong connective tissue saturated with oil. The young are covered with small scales, which resemble those of many lizards, but are shed with age. They are mostly black on the back but the fins have white margins, and have lines of white scales along the back. On average, measuring about 61.3mm long and weighing 45.8 g. Leatherbacks travel much greater distances in the ocean than the other marine\u00a0 turtles . It is assumed that in one year, they migrate from South America to the northeastern United States and then return to their starting point.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_264\" style=\"width: 748px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-264\" class=\"wp-image-264 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/hatchlings.jpg\" alt=\"Turtle hatchlings\" width=\"738\" height=\"277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/hatchlings.jpg 738w, https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/hatchlings-300x113.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-264\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hatchling coming out of the egg in Cabarete Beach<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The leatherback forages in cold waters, able to withstand temperatures of 6 \u00ba C \u2013 15 \u00b0 C. It has also been recorded that this\u00a0 turtle\u00a0 can reach up to 1200 m below sea level and at that depth, water temperature is rarely above 5 \u00ba C, even in tropical regions. Unlike almost all living reptiles, leatherback is endothermic, maintaining a body temperature of around 25 \u00ba C. They feed mainly on pelagic invertebrates such as jellyfish and tunicates, pelagic crustaceans and juvenile fish.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A kind of rear-facing spines that are in the throat, help them to swallow jellyfish. The main\u00a0 nesting\u00a0\u00a0 beaches\u00a0 are on the Pacific coast of Mexico, the Atlantic coast of Costa Rica, Trinidad and Tobago, French Guiana, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic. They also spawn in smaller amounts in Veracruz, Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, Colombia, Windward and Leeward Islands and Guyana.<\/p>\n<p><b>The main threats facing the leatherback vary from one region to another but can be summarized in:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u2013\u00a0 Habitat loss, due to the marketing of tropical\u00a0 beaches\u00a0 (especially tourism) and industrialization.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013\u00a0 By catch by fishing nets, causing it to suffocate.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013\u00a0 Pollution caused by industry in tropical waters and heavy industry in cold waters used for migration.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013\u00a0 Human predation: In many countries, the leatherback population is threatened by uncontrolled harvesting of their eggs. This is due to various cultural beliefs in relation to eggs.<\/p>\n<p>In several countries, the leatherback\u00a0 turtle\u00a0 is hunted for food. For example, in the Kei Islands (southwest of\u00a0\u00a0New\u00a0\u00a0Guinea, Maluku Province of Indonesia), leatherback\u00a0 turtles\u00a0 are regularly hunted as a food source.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cabarete\u00a0 beach is world famous for its windy bay that attracts Wind and Kite surfing enthusiasts all year long from all over the world.\u00a0<b>Golden Treasures Real Estate and Rentals<\/b>\u00a0is dedicated to promoting eco tourism and the protection of all marine species in the North coast in order to preserve this legacy for present and future generations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With the constant growth in the villa rental and real estate market of the area, it`s imperative that strict guidelines are enforced in order to protect all natural habitats for the marine species such as the Dermochelys coriacea, also called Tinglar and Laud\u00a0 turtle .<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Trips from<b>\u00a0Sosua<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0<b>\u00a0Puerto\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Plata\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0should be arranged to the\u00a0 nesting\u00a0 site in order to show children and adults some awereness and respect for nature.
