Monitoring turtle nesting in Las Tunas and influences of biotic and anthropological anthropological factors on the hatching success of Lepidochelys olivacea

Monitoring was carried out from November 2021 to February 2022.Diurnal monitoring was carried out, where traces of footprints of the nesting female allowed the registration of each nest; then the presence of eggs in the nest chamber was confirmed, the location of each egg was recorded by GPS and a sign was placed with the nest description (code, date of registration and estimated date of hatching, species).Following the recommendations of García Garduño, 2021, the beaches were categorised into three zones. - Zone 1 or Infralitoral, is the wet zone due to the high risk to the nests that will be affected by the sea. - Zone 2 or Mesolitoral, is the zone starting from the last high tide line, close to the vegetation. - Zone 3 or Supralittoral, is the upper area of the beach that usually has vegetation.
